At that point, we were at 650,000 monthly actives.

There's no way 650,000 of them have CloudMax subscriptions.

Like it's crazy for the average person to spend $200 a month on anything.

So we knew it was like a smaller subset.

And also at the time, we had been working on deals with pretty much every other company to officially support their subscription in OpenCode.

So the previous weeks leading up to that, we got Microsoft to agree for GitHub Copilot to be officially blessed by OpenCode.

We got a bunch of different companies in the works.

We haven't announced any of them yet.

And the big one we hadn't gotten or we haven't even approached was OpenAI.

So when this happened that night, well, it was a Thursday night.

I don't remember exactly when.

I got like 100 tags on X being like, oh, they banned it, they banned it.

And I was like, all right, it's go time.

So I messaged OpenAI being like, hey, tomorrow, everyone's going to wake up.

Everyone's going to be really angry at Anthropic.

You guys have a chance to score like a PR win by taking the opposite stance and officially supporting OpenCode.

The next morning, they confirmed like, yeah, let's do it.

So in the morning, everybody was like,

Oh, Anthropic blocked OpenCode.

They're screwed.
