Anthropic's New Cost-Control Gambit

🔥 What happened Anthropic launched "Smart Reports" for enterprise customers – a feature that analyzes Claude usage and breaks down costs per team. Off by default, max ten reports per month, restricted to authorized managers. 💡 Why it matters Only 15% of German companies scale AI productively – down from 21% last year. A third were blindsided by costs. "Modelmaxxing" and model-routing startups show cost control is the new battleground. ⚡ Our take Anthropic says it's "not for performance evaluation" – but anyone seeing per-team costs draws exactly those conclusions. That's performance management with extra steps.
