Could More AI Companies Limit Use for Subscribers?
One user on Anthropic’s $200/month Max plan has reported to News that they have been using the service to make over $1,000 (measured on API pricing) worth of calls in a single day.
On top of this, since 2019, chatbots have experienced a 92% increase in usage, and this number will no doubt increase as the technology develops.
As businesses and consumers continue to implement the technology, AI companies may struggle to keep up from a technical perspective. Anthropic has suggested in the past that it is constrained when it comes to computational resources, and increased usage could be unsustainable in the long run.
Investments and collaborations – Perplexity and Samsung seem to be considering one – could play a major role here. If the technology continues to move as fast as it is, and more and more people begin to use it regularly, user limits could become more strict.
