It is official. Anthropic has rolled out and announced new rate limits, basically how much

you can use the AI platform because of a specific tool and because of a specific type of person,

potentially abusing their whole system. Now, today on the podcast, I want to talk about the

anthropic rate limits, what this means for other AI companies, because I don't think

Anthropics can be the only one that has to do this. I'm going to talk about why they have these rate limits, what the rate limits are, where I think this is going in the future, and are rate limits even going to be a thing in the future, or are we eventually just going to get to an unlimited free compute? All right, we're going to get into all of that on the podcast today. Before we want, we do, I wanted to mention if you've ever wanted to use all of the top AI models that I mentioned on the podcast, I love for you to try

out my platform, which is called AIbox.a. Essentially, it allows you to try the top 40 different

AI models all on one platform, Anthropic, Google, Gemini, Rock, Open AI, everything for just

$20 a month. So you don't have to have subscriptions to every single platform. There's also the ability for you to compare results

side by side from different AI models and the ability for you to have a media storage

that shows you everything you've ever generated in the past, the prompt you used to generate

it and help you get back to the prompt and the chat that you

had to begin with. Okay. So that's cool, but let's get into what is going on with Anthropic.

Starting with a tweet that they put out that says, quote, we're rolling out new fresh or new

weekly rate limits for Claude Pro and Max in the late of August. So it's not right now, but coming soon. We estimate you'll, they'll apply to less than 5% of subscribers based on current usage. Basically, the big thing that I think is important is it's like, okay, look, this is only going to apply to like 5% of our subscribers based off of what they're seeing. But the other thing that I do think is important is as more and more people are trying this, more and more people are getting familiar with these tools, I think, like, give it a month or two months and that number would have been 10% or 15% or 20%, right? Because people are using it more and more. And so I think that maybe it's 5% of subscribers today, but like by the time this rolls out at the end of the month, it could be impacting a little bit more. Anyways, all this to say, the 5% I don't think is, as small as you'd think, it'll get bigger. But anyways, this is what they said specifically. Claude code. So Claude code code, for those who are unaware, is basically Anthropics coding platform. It ties into your code base. I use it AI box, it ties into our back end and our front end. We tell it how, you know, we would like it to

code something. It looks at all of our code base. I use it at AI box. It ties into our back end and our front end.

We tell it how, you know, we would like it to code something. It looks at all of our code precedent. So it designs things that look similar to our current design styles. We basically,

if I'm being 100% honest, have replaced our designer over AI box with this because it's able to

help a lot with the code. Now, you do need, in my opinion, a talented coder to help give it directions and to understand what's going on. You have to understand the code base you're prompting against the back end and the front end and everything else. But basically, if you understand what you're doing, you can get a 10x on what you're able to do with Claude Code as a developer. So they said that Claude Code has seen unprecedented demand.

They said especially as part of our Max plans, basically there. So this is the other thing

with it. I was spending over at AI Box. We were spending like $100 every couple days because we're

just using getting so much usage out of Claude Code. And then they unveiled this thing called the

Max Plan, which was basically unlimited usage for $200 a month. Who could say no? We're already spending so much money every few days that we're like, oh yeah, for like this is a no-brainer. So we sign up for that. It's kind of tricky. You actually have to message that I think they're like support or you got to do some, jump it through a couple hoops. But basically, once you get it, it saved us a ton of money. Now, evidently, all the money we saved, they're not happy about. And they said, we'll continue to support this growth while we work on making Claude code even better. But for now, we need to make some changes. Some of the biggest Claude code fans are running it continuously in the back end 24-7. All right, I have an example of one person that is doing this. They said,
