simonw | on: Outsourcing plus local AI will soon become more economical vs. frontier labs
I learned today that the Anthropic "Enterprise" plan - the one big companies use because they need governance features and audit logs and all of that jazz - is billed at API token rates (plus $20/seat/month).

So large companies are getting billed a lot more than those discount subscription plans.

Anything over 150 seats means you need to pay at token rates plus the $20/user. My day job is operational (no coding at all) and I'm spending ~$300 a month on a few chats with Claude/Cowork a day over the course of a month.

I hope your company is keeping the input/response pair in case they need to break free at some point.

Governance and audit trail are incredibly valuable to large enterprise organizations, especially those working in regulated spaces. Companies will pay a premium if the security/privacy/compliance issues are handled effectively.

I've heard that the $20/seat gets waved if you have large enough committed spend.

Would they even care at that scale, if the average employee spends $3000 every month because mgmt mandates slopmaxxing?
