✂️ Windsurf says Anthropic is limiting its direct access to Claude AI models
LINK
|
- Windsurf, the vibe coding startup, stated Anthropic significantly reduced its first-party access to the Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Claude 3.5 Sonnet AI models with little notice.
- The startup now needs other third-party compute providers for Claude AI models, potentially causing short-term availability issues for users trying to access Claude.
- This decision follows Anthropic not granting Windsurf direct access to Claude 4 models, forcing developers to use more expensive "bring your own key" workarounds.
