The issue isn't API limits, but web UI limits. We can always get around the web interface's limits by using the claude API directly but then you need to have some other interface...

The API still has limits. Even if you are on the highest tier, you will quickly run into those limits when using coding assistants. The value proposition of Glama is that it combines UI and API. While everyone focuses on either one or the other, I've been splitting my time equally working on both. Glama UI would not win against Anthropic if we were to compare them by the number of features. However, the components th…

Your chat idea is a little similar to Abacus AI. I wish you had a similarly affordable monthly plan for chat only, but your UI seems much better. I may give it a try!

What I really want (as a current Pro subscriber) is a subscription tier ("Ultimate" at ~$120/month ?) that gives me priority access to the usual chat interface, but _also_ a bunch of API credits that would ensure Claude and I can code together for most of the average working month (reasonable estimate would be 4 hours a day, 15 days a month). i.e I'd like my chat and API usage to be all included under a flat-rate sub…

You can do this yourself. Anyone can buy API credits. I literally just did this with my personal credit card using my gmail based account earlier today. 1. Subscribe to Claude Pro for $20 month 2. Separately, Buy $100 worth of API credits. Now you have a Claude "ultimate" subscription where the credits roll over as an added bonus. As someone who only uses the APIs, and not the subscription services for AI, I can tell…

I don't think you can generate images with claude. just asked it for pink elephant: "I can't generate images directly, but I can create an SVG representation of a pink elephant for you." And it did it :)

The big difference is DeepSeek R1 has a permissive license whereas Claude has a nightmare “closed output” customer noncompete license which makes it unusable for work unless you accept not competing with your intelligence supplier, which sounds dumb

Do most people have an expectation of competing with Claude?

Some of the people who use Claude for coding work on products involving AI. I don't know what percentage, but I bet it's not trivial.

I'm surprised that Gemini 2.0 is first now. I remember that Google models were under performing on kagi benchmarks.

Having your own hardware to run LLMs will pay dividends. Despite getting off on the wrong foot, I still believe Google is best positioned to run away with the AI lead, solely because they are not beholden to Nvidia and not stuck with a 3rd party cloud provider. They are the only AI team that is top to bottom in-house.

This is a great take

I wish Amodei didn't write that essay where he begged for export controls on China like that disabled corgi from a meme. I won't use anything Anthropic out of principle now. Compete fairly or die.

The thing I would like automated is highlighting a function in my code then ask the AI to move it to a new module-file and import that new module. I would like this to happen easily like hitting a menu or button without having to write an elaborate "prompt" every time. Is this possible?

I think most language servers have a feature like this right?

Moving a function or class? Yes. But moving arbitrary lines of code into their own function in a new module is still a PITA, particularly when the lines of code are not consecutive.

That is a good idea. For something like Claude Code, $100 is not a lot, though.

The cost is absurd (compared to other LLM providers these days). I asked 3 questions and the cost was ~0.77c. I do like how this is implemented as a bash tool and not an editor replacement though. Never leaving Vim! :P

That 0.77 can save hours of work though, fighting with or being misdirected by other LLM. And, relative to hourly rate, or a cup of coffee, it's incredibly insignificant, if just used for the heavy questions.

My LLM client can switch between whatever models, mid conversation. So I'll have a question or two in the more expensive, then drop down to the cheaper for explanations/questions that help me understand. Rewind time, then hit the more expensive models with relevant prompts.

At the edges, it really ends up being "this is the only model that can do this".

You can get your HN profile analyzed by it and it's pretty funny :) https://hn-wrapped.kadoa.com/ I'm using this to test the humor of new models.

I love that its two predictions of projects I’m likely doing in 2025 are.. projects I actually tried already
