Anthropic temporarily banned OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger from accessing Claude, citing 'suspicious' activity, though his account was reinstated hours later. The incident occurred shortly after Anthropic announced it would no longer cover third-party tools like OpenClaw under Claude subscriptions. This reflects ongoing tensions between AI companies and third-party developers building on their platforms.
Background
OpenClaw is a third-party tool that interfaces with Anthropic's Claude AI models. AI companies are increasingly implementing measures to control how their models are accessed and used by external developers.
