Abstract

Claude Code的增长神话正在破灭。最新数据显示,其年度经常性收入(ARR)增速已从早期的狂飙断崖式下跌至5.2%,表明其爆炸式增长期已结束。增长停滞的原因包括目标程序员用户群体渗透率接近天花板,以及旨在开拓办公市场的“Cowork”功能因体验不佳未能成功破圈。 更严重的危机是用户“退订潮”的爆发。直接导火索是2026年8月初全球上线的“不可见文本水印”功能,该水印会悄无声息地嵌入所有Claude生成或处理的文本和代码中。这引发了程序员和文字工作者的强烈不满,担心自己的原创作品被“污染”,并可能引发法律与合规风险。此外,用户对严苛的使用额度、不稳定的模型性能以及高昂价格也日益不满。 与此同时,竞争对手OpenAI Codex正强劲反扑,其近期增长率是Claude Code的四倍,并接收了大量从Claude流失的用户。Codex以更宽松的限制、无缝的IDE集成、无水印策略和强大的企业销售网络获得青睐。Cursor等竞争对手也趁机发起补贴战,进一步侵蚀Claude Code的市场。 这一变化标志着市场从早期的概念炒作狂热进入冷静期。用户的核心诉求回归到工具是否稳定、好用且不增添麻烦。文章指出,Anthropic在技术层面虽强,但在产品运营和用户策略上表现傲慢,导致口碑反噬。若不能正视这些问题,即使手握Fable 5.1等技术王牌,也难以挽回用户。

Claude Code的增长神话,破灭了!

「Anthropic完蛋了,现在有大量用户正在疯狂取消订阅。」

开发者的一条X,引发了社区热议。

最新数据显示,Claude Code早期的爆炸式增长期,已经宣告结束。

如今,新用户呈个位数增长,老用户在疯狂倒戈。

CC的不少忠实用户,已经转向老对手OpenAI的Codex。

ARR增速暴跌至5.2%,狂飙暂停

今天,知名数据追踪平台TickerTrends发出最新报告,数据显示——

Claude Code的增长引擎已经明显「熄火」。

曾经,Claude Code有一条令人血脉喷张的增长曲线。

Claude Code的ARR在2026年2月12日时约为25亿美元;到了3月底狂飙至63亿;4月底突破103亿;到了6月,这个数字已经超过了140亿美元。

短短几个月,翻了近6倍!

这不仅是AI史上的奇迹,更是整个软件工业史上的神话。投资人沸腾了,整个科技圈都在惊呼。

但Claude Code的神话,终结于2026年的这个8月。

截至8月10日,Claude Code的追踪ARR停留在151.2亿美元。

乍一看,150亿的盘子依然庞大(占Anthropic总追踪ARR的21.9%),但如果看环比增速,这个数字已经断崖式暴跌至 5.2%!

5.2%意味着什么?对于一个处于风口浪尖的AI独角兽来说,这个数字,表明它已经提前进入了「传统软件」的低速增长期。

数据是不会骗人的,尤其是对于SaaS和AI订阅产品而言,ARR就是生命线。

正如科技评论人Orange AI所指出的那样:

Claude Code 的增长神话破灭了。

进入现实的苦哈哈个位数增长模式,程序员渗透的也差不多了,该去 codex 的也都走了,cowork 难用得不行也没吃下 work 市场太多。

为什么会涨不动了?

首先,程序员群体的渗透率已经逼近天花板。

从全球来看,愿意为高级AI编程工具掏钱的核心开发者的数量终究有限。该买的人都买了,增量从何而来?

其次,Anthropic原本寄厚望于改变广大白领工作流的Cowork,惨遭滑铁卢。

用户普遍反馈,Cowork难用得不行,完全未能如预期般啃下庞大的Work市场。

产品力没有跟上野心,破圈失败,自然只能在存量市场里内卷。

不可见水印惹众怒,大规模「退订潮」爆发

增速放缓只是内忧,更致命的外患,是正在社交网络上蔓延的「退订潮」。

这场退订危机的直接导火索,是2026年8月初全球上线的一项新功能——「不可见文本水印」。

据悉,Anthropic此举是为了应对欧盟日益严苛的规则。然而,此举把用户们惹怒了。

这个水印会悄无声息地嵌入到Claude生成或处理的所有文本和代码中,这让程序员和文字工作者们彻底炸毛了。

对于许多每月支付约100美元订阅Claude Pro/Max的高级用户来说,AI只是一个辅助工具。

他们可能会把自己的核心代码放进去让Claude帮忙找Bug,或者把几万字的机密文档扔进去做轻度润色。

现在,只要经过Claude的手,这些凝结着人类心血的原创作品,就会被永久打上「AI生成」的烙印。

在外媒专访中,多名愤然退订的用户表达了愤怒:「这会污染我们的作品!」

代码一旦被偷偷打上水印,独立开发者会面临大麻烦——辛辛苦苦给甲方交差,转头就可能吃官司、赔违约金。

大厂的程序员就更慌了,公司的核心代码库要是被AI水印给「污染」了,合规审计查下来,自己的职场前途都不保。

而且,水印还只是个导火索。

官方接下来的一波操作,负面Buff直接叠满,把大家的耐心按在地上反复摩擦。

比如,抠搜到家的额度。

跟OpenAI那边Tibo天天重置不同,Anthropic被喷得没办法了,把每周额度勉强提了50%(而且就到8月底)。

但对天天靠它干活的重度用户来说,这连塞牙缝都不够!写代码写到一半突然被限流的痛,谁懂?

另外,还有薛定谔般的模型体验。

之前被吹上天的神级模型Fable 5,6月上线之后就不断出幺蛾子。

在实际写复杂业务代码时,表现就跟抽盲盒一样,时而封神,时而智障,根本不敢完全信它。

既然价格死贵还疯狂割韭菜,那用户掀桌,也是分分钟的事。

OpenAI Codex的疯狂反扑

就在Claude Code深陷泥潭、用户大量流失的同时,它的宿敌——OpenAI Codex,正在疯狂吃肉。

TickerTrends的对比数据,简直是「冰火两重天」。

在截至8月10日的最近四周内,OpenAI Codex的环比增长率达到了恐怖的 20.8%, 足足是Claude Code(5.2%)的四倍之多!

Codex凭什么这么猛?答案很简单:它接收了大量从Claude过来的「难民」。

X平台上,大量开发者表示:因为水印和额度限制,自己已经取消Claude订阅,全面转向Codex。

Codex的限制更宽松,还有更无缝的IDE集成,没有让人恶心的隐形水印,以及OpenAI强大的企业级销售网络背书(目前Codex已占OpenAI企业级ARR的约45%)。

正如这条评论所说:「该去Codex的都走了」。这是用户在用脚投票。

甚至,刚被SpaceX收购的Cursor更打响补贴战,凭「退订Claude截图」直接送200美元顶配订阅。

Claude Code早期靠着超长上下文和惊艳的zero-shot编码能力建立的护城河,正在被OpenAI和Cursor用更好的产品体验和生态,一 点点 填平。

市场进入冷静期,打醒「AI自我进化」的幻梦

回头看今年五六月份,那时的Anthropic是何等的意气风发。

Fable 5模型刚刚发布,团队成员四处鼓吹新叙事:「AI已经具备了自我开发软件的能力。」「人类程序员的作用将被重新定义。」

在ARR狂飙突进的巅峰期,整个硅谷都沉浸在一种「AGI马上就要降临,我们正在造神」的狂热之中。

这种叙事极其性感,也极其容易让身在局中的人「飘飘然」。

然而,仅仅两个月后,现实狠狠地抽了这种高调叙事一巴掌。

当潮水退去,企业面临的冰凉的商业现实——

企业预算是有限的;算力是有限的;打工人的诉求也是很卑微的(只求工具好用、不搞幺蛾子、额度够用)。

用户真正在意的,是「你能别在我的代码里加水印吗?你能把每小时的消息限制放宽一点吗?你的Cowork功能能不能设计得像人用的东西?」

这正是目前所有AI超级独角兽面临的共同困境。

CC在技术底层上绝对是顶尖的,但在产品运营、商业化策略(如强推水印)、用户心理把握(如定价与限额)上,却像个傲慢的新手,口碑自然就反噬了。

真正把讨论推向刺痛点的,是资本与叙事层面的批判。

有人直言:Anthropic约2万亿美元的IPO估值简直荒谬,甚至高于SpaceX。

然而现实是,它不拥有任何硬件,没有真正的护城河,前景也并不光明。像SpaceX这样真正严肃的公司,其智能水平正在逼近、很快将超越这些模型,收入也会跟上。

至于IPO,更多人会把它当作快速抛售股份、实现体面退出的工具。

如今,市场已经从盲目狂飙期,进入了冷静期。

靠着概念炒作和早期红利能吃肉的日子,已经结束了。

虽然Anthropic还握着一张Fable 5.1的王牌,但如果还继续打水印,用户会买账吗?

最后送给Anthropic一句话:请好好做人,保持谦逊。

在增长时候不要太飘,因为你的衣食父母,随时都可能掀桌子走人。

MSX US Stock Daily Observation: Alibaba FY2027 Q1 Earnings: AI Cloud Revenue Growth Hits Record High, AI Cloud Achieves Profitable Closed Loop

**MSX Daily US Stock Watch: Alibaba FY2027 Q1 Earnings – AI Cloud Revenue Hits Record Growth, Achieves Profitability Milestone** Alibaba's Q1 FY2027 revenue slightly exceeded expectations at 268.9B yuan (+9% YoY). However, adjusted net profit of 20.7B yuan (-38% YoY) and adjusted EPS missed consensus significantly. This shortfall was primarily driven by increased AI investments and two one-time items: a 5.5B euro provision for an EU Digital Services Act fine and 4.46B yuan in goodwill impairment. The restructured business segments showed clear divergence. The standout performer was the AI Cloud & Computing Services unit, with revenue surging 45% YoY to 48.44B yuan. Crucially, its adjusted EBITA jumped 133% YoY to 5.63B yuan, with margins expanding to 12%, signaling a profitable commercial loop for AI infrastructure. Within the Commerce Group, revenue growth was mixed: China Local Services (instant retail) grew 45% to 53.3B yuan, largely offsetting an 8% decline in Traditional China Commerce (110.9B yuan). International commerce revenue fell 1%. Despite this, the Commerce Group's adjusted EBITA dipped only 1% YoY to 39.75B yuan. A key area to watch is cash flow. Capital expenditures soared 75% YoY to 67.68B yuan, turning free cash flow to a net outflow of 44.67B yuan. However, operating cash flow remained positive and grew 11% YoY to 22.95B yuan, indicating the cash burn is a strategic choice for AI capacity build-out rather than operational weakness. In summary, while headline profits were pressured by heavy AI spending and one-off charges, the core takeaway is the emerging profitability of the AI Cloud business. The success of Alibaba's current investment cycle hinges on whether the profit improvement in AI Cloud can outpace the depreciation costs of its massive computing infrastructure expansion.

Understanding Mantis ($M): A New Era in Cross-Chain Interoperability In the continually evolving landscape of Web3 and cryptocurrency, new projects strive to offer innovative solutions aimed at enhancing the user experience and expanding functional possibilities within the decentralised financial ecosystem. One such project garnering attention is Mantis ($M), a pioneering protocol founded on the principles of cross-chain interoperability and intent-based settlements. This article delves into the essential aspects of Mantis, including its core functionality, creators, investment backing, innovative features, and critical milestones. What is Mantis ($M)? Mantis is described as a multi-domain intent settlement protocol that simplifies cross-chain interactions, enabling users to execute complex financial transactions across various blockchain platforms seamlessly. The protocol operates through three primary layers: Intent Expression: Users can articulate their transaction goals using natural language facilitated by the DISE LLM, an advanced AI language model. For instance, a user might express a desire to swap Ethereum (ETH) for Solana (SOL) with a specific slippage tolerance of 1%. Execution: This layer employs a network of solvers that compete to fulfil user intents. Transactions are executed using mechanisms such as Coincidence of Wants (CoWs) and Order Flow Auctions (OFAs), which ensure that user demands are met optimally. Settlement: Leveraging the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol, Mantis enables atomic cross-chain transactions, allowing users to operate across various supported chains, including Ethereum, Solana, and Cosmos. Mantis is engineered to introduce native yield generation for idle assets, employing cryptographic proofs to maintain the integrity of transactions throughout the entire process. Creators & Development Team Mantis was conceived by the Composable Foundation, a research-driven organisation notable for its emphasis on blockchain interoperability solutions.
