Two Claude accounts of mine got blocked (one of them was a paid account for which I got a refund following the block), without explanation, very normal use.

I loved using Claude, I think it did better job than other LLM. Attempts to appeal failed with no response.

You think you can help me figure it out?

I've seen this kind of comment a few times, I was considering building some tools on top of Claude but this strongly puts me off. I don't want to invest the engineering time only to randomly have the account blocked with no warning and no explanation.

Like you shouldn't lock yourself to a specific cloud provider, you shouldn't lock yourself to a LLM as a service provider.

You could build your tools with a generic access to the best LLMs of the market. Today Claude is great, but perhaps Gemini, Mistral, ChatGPT, Command-R, or some wizard-dolphin-mixtral-carrots-merge-v3 can be descent replacements.

This puts me off using any remote LLM. I would pay per month to have the model run locally.

Why not use something like http://openrouter.ai? Pay as you go and you can select any model you want. Heaven!
