Sam Altman Opens ChatGPT Subs to OpenClaw — Anthropic Holds the Block

Altman tweet at 2:33am on May 2: 'sign in to openclaw with your chatgpt account now and use your subscription there.'
ChatGPT Plus ($23/mo) now backs GPT-5.4 inside OpenClaw — directly opposite Anthropic's April 4 ban on running Claude Pro/Max plans through third-party harnesses.
OpenClaw sits at ~346k GitHub stars and 3.2M users; making ChatGPT the auth/billing layer locks that distribution to OpenAI.
Strategic split: OpenAI is buying agent volume, Anthropic is protecting margins on autonomous-agent token spend.
