That’s unfortunate. I believed Anthropic was playing the long game and betting on a smaller but more technically proficient userbase.

I guess I’ll be canceling my subscription largely out of principal. I doubt any open-source models are capable of handling my use case as well as Claude (typically focused on getting up to speed with various ISO/IEEE standards for the purpose of security testing) but I’m sure I’ll find a solution.

Against much well-informed advice, I use a vanity domain for my internal network at home. Through a combination Smallstep CA, CoreDNS, and Traefik, any services I host in my Docker Swarm cluster automatically are immediately issued a signed SSL certificate, load-balanced, and resolvable. Traefik also allows me to configure authentication for any services that I may not wish to expose without such.
