Skip the $20 Anthropic plan: X Premium already gives you Opus 5.5 via the Grok harness
ChrisGPT · x · 2026-10-07
ChrisGPT argues heavy X users no longer need Anthropic's $20 subscription: keeping an X Premium plan alone lets you access Opus 5.5 through the Grok bot harness, getting the same answers from the same model.
He clarifies he isn't disputing the differences between Claude Code and Claude Work or the generous subsidization in Anthropic subscriptions — the tip targets only heavy X users who mainly ask hard questions in chat, for whom the X subscription is the better deal.
