#Anthropic

AIDeveloper Brandon Thomas's Artcraft has launched seven open source apps in Rust that aim to replicate the interfaces and tools of Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Lightroom, After Effects, InDesign, and Acrobat Pro. Thomas said he used Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 to build the clean-room replacements, with WebAssembly versions available for browser use. The apps remain in a "super early alpha" state, and commenters have pointed out many current shortcomings.

AISemiAnalysis measured usage meters on Anthropic and OpenAI subscription plans to estimate each plan's API-equivalent value. At mid-tier models, it found Anthropic offers roughly 5x the value of OpenAI, after OpenAI halved its $200 plan limits and introduced a $500 tier. The analysis also argues that subscriptions take a large share of inference compute while providing a small share of revenue, so their limits materially affect lab margins.
