Course 4 of 18

Claude & Anthropic

The channel's take on Anthropic in 2026 is unusually sharp: a single thesis ("you don't need Opus"), a single controversy (the plan-throttling saga, where Anthropic called the new limits a "feature, not a bug"), and a single exception (Fable 5 + Loop Designs, the one place where Claude-class output is genuinely worth the spend). This course collects all three threads into a coherent migration story — what changed in March–April 2026, what to do about it, and where the cheap Claude window closes. Across seven videos in the [Claude section of Course 2](03-model-tier-list.md) and the standalone Opus guide, the channel's coverage is the most systematic on the page, and it forms the empirical backbone of every recommendation in this course.
