TL;DR: Anthropic refused to sign a contract with the Pentagon that would have allowed the U.S. military to use all of its models without restrictions. Anthropic insisted on an exception, and brace yourself, that its models cannot be used: 1) for mass surveillance of citizens, 2) for autonomous killing. Now the administration is threatening that if the founder of Anthropic doesn't change his mind by a certain date, they will come after him.

Google, OpenAI, and Musk (Grok) have all signed the contract.

Following Sam Altman's announcement over the past few hours, people have been speaking out massively about cancelling their OpenAI subscriptions and subscribing to Claude.

Hey everyone,

I've built my product around traditional SaaS pricing (monthly tiers), but I m starting to wonder if that model is getting outdated, especially with more AI-powered and compute-heavy tools entering the market.
That shift requires real architectural changes, instrumentation, metering, billing logic, and UI changes, not just pricing tweaks. It s something I m starting to seriously think about for my own product.

In particular, AI usage has real COGs (every prompt costs money), and I m seeing more platforms experimenting with usage-based models, or hybrids like SaaS base + usage + overage.

For those of you building AI or compute-intensive tools:

We ve shipped a batch of new updates to ProfileSpider, and I d love to get feedback from the PH community.

What s new:

• Sub-page scraping (Enrich): Automatically follow and extract data from related profile pages and websites for deeper enrichment

• Company profile scraping: Extract structured data from company pages, not just individual profiles

• More free credits: Increased the free tier to 50 credits so you can test real workflows

• Improved AI prompts: Better accuracy and consistency in extracted profile data

• And more: Performance improvements, cleaner outputs, and UX refinements
