What exactly are the differences in terms of its capacities?
What do you personally prefer and why, if you used both?
How much does the Anthropic Console w credits cost in average per month vs Claude Pro's $20/month fee?
I obv tried asking Claude before coming here, but wasn't really satisfactory
I was wondering if there is a quality difference between answers I'm geeting via console.anthropic.com and Claude.ai in general.
I'm aware of the fact that I can change models in the console version, the tokens to sample etc.
I was just wondering if there are differences how the two systems work with prompts, thread history, and interpretation of my prompts within a thread.

I recently was given access to both of these, and they seem to be separate from each other (at least, maybe the way my org set it up).
I have struggled finding a clear practical answer to this question: What is the difference between these and what are the strengths and weaknesses of each, if different.
Sorry for the (surely) stupid question, I've à Claude account with a Pro subscription, I need to work with the API, but when I've tried to login in the Anthropic's console using the same Claude's account email, it asks me to create an account, and was a bit surprised and worried to mess things up. Can I go with the same email? And BTW do I really need to pay for two different accounts? That's not fair to my understanding. Thank you!!
I just paid for the Pro version of Claude. Downloaded Cursor and when I went to add the 'API key', it seems like I also need to pay for Anthropic?
I am a little confused. First time doing the Cursor IDE setup. I am a Rider dev.
I want to be able to use Cursor without any limitations. Not bragging but money is not a concern. I make enough as a Software Consultant to afford those memberships.
Also, I heard about bolt.new or something along those lines? I checked it out but it seems towards opinionated out-of-the-box frontend applications.
Any advice?
Thanks!!!
Hello. We're developing a small product and comparing results from different models. I'm amazed at how much weaker the API model is compared to the model they use in the subscription. At the same time, I haven't seen any information about their differences anywhere.
In my experience, the API model worse in document analysis and text writing. Has anyone noticed this?
It is significantly better than both GPT3 and even GPT4!
How?
Well, the obvious part is the context length but since that's trivial, I won't talk about that too much.
For me, the biggest issue I had with GPT 4 was the fact that it seems to have hard coded rules that prevent it from saying certain words or expressing certain tokens. This is typically carried out using a method known as logit bias where an additional parameter within the model architecture is manipulated to decrease the likelihood of it saying certain words.
For Claude, this is totally different. Instead of concentrating on "safety", Anthropic took a different approach and decided to maximize for helpfulness, honesty and most importantly - harmlessness, which is different to "safety".
For Claude, instead of limiting the model response by excluding certain tokens, it will disengage with harmful prompts by actively objecting to it and explaining why it's bad. It is less likely to say "As an AI, I cannot do X".
Rather if you ask it for instructions on how to synthesise a bomb for instance, it will say "I understand your interest, but cannot recommend unsafe or unethical actions. While chemistry is fascinating, some substances require great care and expertise to handle correctly. Perhaps we could explore a safer chemistry topic?"
To me, I think that is far more satisfying and acceptable than just being hit with a hard no, and Claude as a whole is a lot more sympathetic and understanding too which makes the experience of using it that much better.
The best way I can describe it is like speaking with an Apple customers service agent vs speaking with a Google one.
Apple will fix your complaint fast and make you feel bad for cursing being a dickhead over the phone, while Google just hangs up on you.
Hopefully Anthropic releases the API soon. Can't wait!
Anthropic has officially released a Python SDK for Claude Code, and it’s built specifically with developers in mind. This makes it way easier to bring Claude’s code generation and tool use capabilities into your own Python projects
What it offers:
Tool use support
Streaming output
Async & sync support
File support
Built-in chat structure
GitHub repo: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code-sdk-python
I'd love to hear your ideas on how you plan to put this to use
