Unsure of the other competition, but I can vouch for synthetic.new's subscription for GLM (+ other open models). Note quite as accurate as Anthropic's models but good enough for basically everything I do.

#62This is an unusual L for Anthropic. The unfortunate truth is that the engineering in opencode is so far ahead of Claude Code. Obviously, CC is a great tool, but that's more about the magic of the model than the engineering of the CLI.

> Anyway, this is embarrassing for Anthropic.
Why? A few times in this thread I hear people saying "they shouldn't have done this" or something similar but not given any reason why.
Listing features you like of another product isn't a reason they shouldn't have done it. It's absolutely not embarrassing, and if anything it's embarrassing they didn't catch and do it sooner.
Re: Anthropic blocks third-party use of Claude Code subscriptions
#63Anthro is having its Apple moment: too many customers means the company is always on the news, for better or worse. When iPhones receive negative reviews it's not like only Apple screwed up; others did too, but they sell so much less than Apple that no one hears about them: "Apple violated my privacy a tiny bit" makes the news; "Xiaomi sold my fingerprint info to 3rd party vendors" doesn't. Similarly, Anthropic is un…
Lmao? seriously. Claude Code is epic levels terrible compared to opencode.
Can you elaborate?

I've used both CC and OpenCode quite a bit and while I like both and especially appreciate the work around OpenTUI, experience-wise I see almost no difference between the two. Maybe it's because my computer is fast and I use Ghostty, but I don't experience any flickering in CC. Testing now, I see typing is slightly less responsive in CC (very slightly: I never noticed until I was testing it on purpose).
We will see whether OpenCode's architecture lets them move faster while working on the desktop and TUI versions in parallel, but it's so early — you can't say that vision has been borne out yet.

#65And it already has a workaround. https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/7410#issuecomme...
I really don't understand why they thought this is a good idea. I mean I know why they wish to do this, but it's obviously not going to last.

Re: Anthropic blocks third-party use of Claude Code subscriptions
#67Earlier quoted context omitted.
IDK if Anthropic wants to offer a service at below cost, I don't think they should gate keep which client you access that service over. Or in other terms, I won't use a service that locks me into a client I don't like.
How do you draw that conclusion? If Anthropic wants to offer a service at below cost, they seem a lot more justified in restricting how and where they subsidize usage.
Yeah fair, I could've chosen better words. My conclusion is: "I don't want to pay for that", not "they shouldn't be able to do that".

#68Meanwhile, OpenAI co-signs https://github.com/steipete/oracle which lets you use your ChatGPT subscription to gain programmatic/agentic access to 5.2 Pro via automating browser access to the web frontend. Karpathy and other leaders have praised this feature on X. If that is indeed so welcome, imagine what else you could script via their website to get around Codex rate limits or other such things. After all what coud…
Codex requires stuffing a very specific system prompt otherwise the custom endpoint will reject you
Re: Anthropic blocks third-party use of Claude Code subscriptions
#69The API is not banned only using the Claude Code subscription is I actually tried this several months back to do a regular API request using the CC subscription token and it gave the same error message So this software must have been pretending to be Claude Code in order to get around that A Claude Code subscription should not work with other software, I think this is totally fair
> A Claude Code subscription should not work with other software. why not though? aren't you paying for the model usage regardless of the client you use?
No, you are paying to use Claude code… it uses the model underneath, but you aren’t paying for raw model usage. For whatever reason, Anthropic thinks this is the best way to divide up their market.
They want to charge more for direct access to the model.
Re: Anthropic blocks third-party use of Claude Code subscriptions
#70No. Do you realize how much of a joke Claude code is? Under the hood. How they implemented client auth? Well let me tell you https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/blob/dev/packages/open... You literally send your first message “you are Claude code” The fact that this ever worked was insane. Headline is more like anthropic vibes a bug and finally catches it.
That sort of mechanism is not a "joke" and is often used for trademark/legal reasons, not technical ones.
