Claude API Pricing Changes Announced
Matt Wolfehigh confidence
Why it matters
- →Users need to budget for potential cost increases.
- →Heavy users may face significant billing changes.
- →Understanding new pricing is crucial for managing expenses.
Anthropic is implementing a new pricing structure for Claude users starting June 15th. Users will receive a set amount of monthly credits for using Claude outside of Claude Code, such as with OpenClaw or Hermes. Once these credits are exhausted, any additional usage will incur charges at a higher API rate. This change could significantly increase costs for heavy users, with estimates suggesting that 100-200 credits could be used up in just a few hours of intensive work.

llama.cpp b9309 release fixes integer overflows
The b9309 release of llama.cpp tackles significant integer overflow issues in its perplexity calculations, co-authored by Stanisław Szymczyk. This update is vital for enhancing the accuracy and reliability of the model's performance metrics, which are crucial for developers. By resolving these overflows, the release ensures that users can depend on precise data outputs. This fix is a testament to the ongoing efforts to improve the tool's robustness, allowing developers to trust the integrity of their AI computations. While it might seem like a minor adjustment, it plays a critical role in maintaining the tool's reliability.
