r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: Does Anthropic provide credits to startups building in AI

April 17, 2024 -

I am building an Open-source alternative to Perplexity and need some credits to start rolling out Claude. Got a ton of credits from OpenAI but none from anyone else.

So anyone can help me with that?

You get 5 bucks when you register for the API with a new email. Should be enough if you test on haiku or Sonnet

GPT, Google, etc. all offer some amount of base credits to get startups to use their platform (for example, OpenAI offers up to $10k before they start billing you for real).

Is there anything from Anthropic, besides the $5 you get for signing up?

Hello aditya-vishwakarma, the short answer to your question is your usage of Anthropic models will trigger a direct billing on your credit card/invoice and cannot be paid with through your Sponsorship credits. Do not get confused with MACC which is applicable mainly to EA contracts with Azure spend commitments and these commitments can be consumed via purchased of Co-sell incentivized offers on the marketplace. So, with reference to your question, both the sections "Marketplace" and "MACC" are true and correct but for your specific purchase, only the section "Marketplace" is relevant and hence you'll be charged for the usage and this cannot be offset via the Azure credits.

Please do not forget to "Accept the answer” and “up-vote” wherever the information provided helps you, this can be beneficial to other community members.
