Cause of death: the autopsy
Anthropic's terms say customers 'may not pay for, resell, or intermediate Claude usage' on others' behalf, and plan limits 'assume ordinary, individual usage'. The red team rated selling it RED; any hosted tier would have to run on the paid API, and Anthropic already sells a hosted runtime at $0.08 per session-hour.
The numbers
None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.
Could rise again if
The report left no way back.
Evidence
- 09c — Red team + minimum viable plan: "release a money maker like Pluribus"
- 09a: The market for "an AI agent swarm that runs a business / does the work"
- 09: "If we release a money maker like Pluribus, can it succeed? What is the minimum that works?" (synthesis)
