The AI industry is once again in turmoil. Anthropic has announced that it will cut off the calling channels of multiple third-party frameworks, including OpenClaw, through its Claude subscription service. This move caught many users who rely on the subscription service by surprise. According to Anthropic's official explanation, some heavy users paid only $200 for the subscription but consumed computing resources worth $5,000, causing serious financial pressure on the company.

Luo Fuli, the head of the MiMo large model at Xiaomi, expressed her views on this issue. She believes that third-party frameworks suffer from inefficient context management, leading to token consumption that is tens of times higher than that of native frameworks. This situation forced Anthropic to take measures to prevent further financial losses. Luo warned other large model companies in the industry that blindly participating in a "token price war" would bring significant financial risks. She stated that selling tokens at low prices and opening them to third-party tools without clarifying the subscription pricing strategy is actually a trap.

Xiaomi's MiMo large model has recently launched a pay-as-you-go token plan that supports third-party access. Luo emphasized that the future of the industry lies in the collaborative evolution of efficient frameworks and high-quality models, rather than simply pursuing low prices. She believes that short-term cost pains will force third-party developers to optimize their technology, which is beneficial for the long-term healthy development of the entire ecosystem.

Anthropic's decision has undoubtedly sparked deep thinking within the industry about token pricing and usage efficiency. With the sharp increase in computing power demand, companies must find more sustainable business models rather than relying solely on lowering token prices.
