OpenAI and Anthropic leaders dispute user's account suspension claim
A public disagreement broke out between OpenAI Codex lead Thibault Sottiaux and Anthropic’s Claude Code head Boris Cherny. The conflict began when a user alleged that Anthropic blocked their account for utilizing GPT-5.6-Sol within Claude Code. Sottiaux responded to the user by stating he could not assist because he is not an Anthropic employee, while jokingly suggesting they apply for a job. Cherny countered the claim, asserting that Anthropic does not terminate user accounts for integrating external models.
