Anthropic Sends Lawyers to opencode — Kills Flat-Rate Agent Swarms on Claude Max
opencode 1.3.0 removes its Claude Max plugin after Anthropic legal pressure, ending the era of running multi-agent pipelines on a $20/mo Claude Max subscription. The team removed Anthropic-branded auth, deprecated the npm plugin, and pulled the GitHub repo per legal requirements — while publicly contrasting OpenAI, GitHub, and GitLab as 'going the other direction' on developer freedom. Developers who relied on flat-rate Claude Max for overnight agent loops must now pay API rates.
