Oh great. My Max account has been borked for days, and now they will never get to it with everything else burning down.

#42This is a tough moment. Claude is simultaneously becoming substantially more expensive, substantially less reliable (single 9 of reliability), and substantially less performant. It's really hard to justify the cost of a subscription over there right now.
Interestingly, yeah, I can see that this would really cut into your subscription usage with the 5 hour rate limit windows...
I am an API user, and while it being down is super annoying, it isn't really as big of a hit to my overall usage as I can just prepare a bunch of stuff to run in parallel when it does come back up.

Don't say single nine, it sounds ugly and bad.
Say five eights of reliability. Maybe six.

#44For what it’s worth, I moved to Codex GPT-5.5 Xhigh Fast in the desktop app and it’s been fantastic.
I've been a Codex devotee since around last August. I don't know why everyone is so bonkers about Claude Code. It's not the only belle at the ball. Codex is rock solid.

Not to mention substantially less open. I've been using an OpenAI subscription in Pi Agent for a couple weeks now and it's great. And from what I can tell, 5.5 is a heck of a model.

Plus, they've dumbed down their models to the point where the value just isn't there like it was. If I have to go in and clean up after it, or constantly wrestle with it through prompts, what's the point? Just spending $200 a month to be frustrated at a machine.

There was another thread where some people pointed out, Amazon will give you access to Claude with better uptime for the same price (per million tokens up / down), downside is, it does not have the native ability to browse the web, but maybe that's a hidden blessing, since it's less likely to read some random website that has prompt injection embedded into it.
For coding its fine, I havent experimented too much with Amazon Bedrock myself, but I just might soon to check for any limitations.

#48With the TPU deal with Google and their relationship with Amazon they will have access compute coming online.
I worked with 4.6 and found some improvements for better planning and sustained us, but agree some posters 4.7 is slower, overthinking.
What I expect is frontier models to get bigger and more expensive (especially fast mode like on Cerberus). And most of his get much smaller distillations for the more generous subscription tiers.

#49But Boris declared coding is solved. How is this possible? Can’t they prompt Mythos to give them better uptime?
When Claude is making "0 mistakes", all of his work is 100% done by Claude, therefore "coding is solved!" and we have more time to go on podcasts to tell everyone about it.
However, when there is an incident it is immediately "human error", not Claude.

Anthropic is currently "vibe coding" the situation right now.

We're talking about Claude, not GitHub...
