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.

It's pretty fascinating to refresh the usage page on the API site while working [0]. After initialization it was up to 500k tokens ($1.50). After a few questions and a small edit, I'm up to over a million tokens (>$3.00). Not sure if the amount of code navigation and typing saved will justify the expense yet. It'll take a bit more experimentation. In any case, the default API buy of $5 seems woefully low to explore t…

I second that. Did a little bit of local testing with Claude Code, mostly explaining my repository and trying to suggest a few changes and 30 minutes later whoosh: 5$ gone.

Claude 3.7 Sonnet scored 60.4% on the aider polyglot leaderboard [0], WITHOUT USING THINKING. Tied for 3rd place with o3-mini-high. Sonnet 3.7 has the highest non-thinking score, taking that title from Sonnet 3.5. Aider 0.75.0 is out with support for 3.7 Sonnet [1]. Thinking support and thinking benchmark results coming soon.

Interesting that the "correct diff format" score went from 99.6% with Claude 3.5 to 93.3% for Claude 3.7. My experience with using claude-code was that it consistently required several tries to get the right diff. Hopefully all that will improve as they get things ironed out.

Reasoning models pretty reliably seem to do worse at exacting output formats/structured outputs—so far with Aider it has been an effective strategy to employ o1 to “think” about the issue at hand, and have Sonnet implement. Interested to try various approaches with 3.7 in various combinations of reasoning effort.

That's not a terrible idea.

Very good, Code is extremely nice but as others have said, if you let it go on its own it burns through your money pretty fast. I've made it build a web scraper from scratch, figuring out the "API" of a website using a project from github in another language to get some hints, and while in the end everything was working, I've seen 100k+ tokens being sent too frequently for apparently simple requests, something feels…

Working really well for me. Thanks for Aider!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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…

I don’t think you need to be a business to use the API? At least I’m fairly certain I’m using it in a personal capacity. You are never going to hit $120/month even with full-time usage (no guarantees of course, but I get to like $40/month).

Careful -- a solo dev using it professionally, meaning, coding with it as a pair coder (XP style), can easily spend $1500/week.

Why not just open source Claude Code? people have tried to reverse eng the minified version https://gist.githubusercontent.com/1rgs/e4e13ac9aba301bcec28...

Claude Code is on github: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code

That repo is just there for issue reporting right now - https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues - it doesn't contain the tool's source code.

Hi everyone! Boris from the Claude Code team here. @eschluntz, @catherinewu, @wolffiex, @bdr and I will be around for the next hour or so and we'll do our best to answer your questions about the product.

> We’ve also improved the coding experience on Claude.ai. Our GitHub integration is now available on all Claude plans—enabling developers to connect their code repositories directly to Claude

Would love to learn a bit more about how the GitHub integration works. From https://support.anthropic.com/en/articles/10167454-using-the... it seems it’s read only.

Does Claude Code let me take a generated/edited artifact and commit it back as a PR?
