Full Explanation
Anthropic provides self-serve commercial API access. The process: (1) create an account at anthropic.com, (2) review and agree to usage policies, (3) add a payment method for usage-based billing, (4) generate API keys in the Anthropic Console, (5) start making API calls. Enterprises with high-volume needs can also negotiate custom agreements with rate limits and pricing. Option A (enterprise-only) is wrong — self-serve is available. Option C (open-source weights) is wrong — Claude's model weights are not publicly available for download. Option D (third-party only) is wrong — direct API access is standard and encouraged.
