Using Claude Code seems like a popular frontend currently, I wonder how long until Anthropic releases an update to make it a little to a lot less turn-key? They've been very clear that they aren't exactly champions of this stuff being used outside of very specific ways.

I don't think there is any incentive to do so right now because the open models aren't as good. The vast majority of businesses are going to just pay the extra cost for access to a frontier model. The model is what gives them a competitive advantage, not the harness. The harness is a lot easier to replicate than Opus. There are benefits too. Some developers might learn to use Claude Code outside of work with cheaper…

Are the Claude Code (desktop) models very different from what Bedrock has? I thought you could hook up VSCode (not Claude Desktop) to Bedrock Anthropic models. Are there features in Claude Desktop that are not in VSCode/cli?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You don't pay anything to use Claude Code as a front end to non-Anthropic models

so no subscription is needed?

not to use the cli tool. You can install it and change the settings to point to pretty much any other model.

It's an okay-enough tool, but I don't see a lot of point in using it when open sources tools like Pi and OpenCode exist (or octofriend, or forge, or droid, etc).

I don't get why I would use Claude Code when OpenCode, Cursor, Zed, etc. all exist, are "free" and work with virtually any llm. Seems like a weird use case unless I'm missing something.

this is like asking why use intellij or vscode or … when there is vim and emacs

No it's more like, why use a Microsoft paid for distro of nvim when lazyvim, astronvim exist

I don't know why people bother with Claude code. It's so jank, there are far superior cli coding harness out there

What do you recommend? I've tried both pi and opencode and both are better than claude imo, but I wonder if there are others.
