Anthropic reopens OpenClaw-style usage, but on a separate meter

這篇新聞的重點很清楚:The policy is a half-step back from blocking third-party agents: OpenClaw and similar tools can run, but only through a dedicated pool charged at API-style rates.

細節上,Credits do not roll over and cannot borrow from normal chat allowance, which means heavy agent users must treat Claude like metered infrastructure rather than an unlimited subscription.

後續要觀察的是,The move points to a broader industry shift. Agent workloads cost far more than chat, so every major vendor is likely to separate subscription economics from automation economics.
