Free Claude Max for (large project) open source maintainers (https://claude.com/contact-sales/claude-for-oss)

Anthropic are now offering their $200/month Claude Max 20x plan for free to open source maintainers… for six months… and you have to meet the following criteria:

• Maintainers: You’re a primary maintainer or core team member of a public repo with 5,000+ GitHub stars or 1M+ monthly NPM downloads. You’ve made commits, releases, or PR reviews within the last 3 months.

• Don’t quite fit the criteria If you maintain something the ecosystem quietly depends on, apply anyway and tell us about it.

Also in the small print: “Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. We accept up to 10,000 contributors”.
