Tech blogger bindureddy reported that Anthropic's recently released Claude Sonnet 5 model was pulled just days after launch. He predicts that if the upcoming Opus 5 is priced higher than Opus 4.8, it will likely face similar issues.
He also criticized the company, noting that while nominal prices appear stable, Anthropic has effectively increased API costs by 60% this year through various adjustments.
