If I’m not mistaken, a Pro or Max subscription is supposed to be used exclusively with Claude Code or an Anthropic Agent SDK agent, yes? And this is why we’re hearing about people using Anthropic OAuth with OpenClaw having their accounts suspended for breaking TOS. I could be wrong, but if I’m not mistaken the Anthropic Agent SDK is built only for Anthropic models, right? I have a Pro subscription right now and I use it with Claude Code for a lot of my dev work. I regularly need to pay for extra usage so I’m really aching to get in a Pro plan, but I can’t swing (or convince my wife of) the $100 / month just yet. I’m building a personal assistant Agent that I’d love to also be able to do some dev work and operate somewhat autonomously. ​I’d love to use Anthropic’s Agent SDK, but i need all my Claude tokens for my dev work. I’m considering a second account with a Pro subscription just for my assistant so that I don’t have to go up to $100 / month just get, but I’m not sure. I’ve started building a provider agnostic Agent so that I can use affordable APIs like OpenAI’s, but that would mean locking myself out of using my Claude subscription in the future wouldn’t it? But if I built it with Anthropic’s SDK, that would mean locking me into ONLY Anthropic models, wouldn’t it? So I wouldn’t be able to use cheap OpenAI models for now? What thoughts do you have? Long, long-term goal is to build my own little powerhouse inference server and be fully local, so using my own framework would be ideal for the long, long term, but would that mean I’d be stuck to using only Anthropic’s expensive API if I want to use their models? submitted by /u/Odd-Aside456
