❗️Anthropic says its expanded Claude Startups program received 21 TIMES as many applications in its first 48 hours as the entire previous five months combined.

Hundreds of thousands applied within days. Anthropic has now PAUSED its free year of Claude Team and $1,000 API credits, admitting it accepted too many non-startups. Even some previously approved applications will be reviewed again. Already-claimed benefits remain valid.
