> You never know whether Anthropic will route your request to a cheaper model for the price of Opus

For non subsidized plans? Pretty sure they'd need to put this in ToS, or law suites would have followed by now.

How can you prove it?

Sometimes Opus just gives me a rubbish session.

But you don't know why...
Isn't that true of any provider? Anyone could be lying about what they're serving.
Yep. For open weights at least, there's possible ways to verify. Ex: https://www.kimi.com/blog/kimi-vendor-verifier
1. How would you know?

2. They are doing lots of shady stuff that would have gotten someone else banned from visa/mastercard. Your paid off plan literally changes after billing...

I think people are letting them fly for now, because if it turns out true that they'll have AGI they want to be on their good side? We might see the knifes getting pulled otherwise.

no they 100% use MTP with a cheaper model alongside opus, and it would infact be unprovable if they just sometimes switched to auto-accepting everything from the MTP. its true that if they did anthropic would need to hide that they do this, so its probably not a huge deal
