Cursor is probably a better client than Claude Code though

Hard disagree - the third party tooling client better than the native harness?

Claude’s native harness is pretty bad though relatively. Pretty sure at one point it was scoring last on harness related benchmarks using Opus at the time

This is why "unlimited" subscriptions are going to go away, because people can't just use what they paid for, they have to drain every bit of value out in every way they can. Things sold as "unlimited" are always done so within some scope that makes it hard to abuse, on purpose. Unlimited free refills, but you can't bring a bucket to take home. Unlimited home bandwidth, but you can't use it to run servers. Yes you ca…

To me this doesn't really need an analogy at all, but it would be closer to tethering on a 5g plan you pay for with the same constraints you pay for, which is subtly different than the unlimited home server example. I've never let my telecom provider control which device I'm using to access the internet through them.

I'm running Claude Code with Gemma 4 atm and not paying anyone anything, and that's basically what this bridge does as far as I can tell. I dislike Cursor, but was pressured to use it at my last company, and would definitely prefer the CC interface.

Personally - I think this cuts both ways.

Things sold as "unlimited" are often much more expensive for the average user than proper rate based billing would be (see - mobile data, internet data in general, those soft drinks [incl a couple refills] etc...)

It's "nice" in that neither party explicitly needs to track usage (although to your point, the company almost always does actually monitor and track), and it can alleviate billing anxiety. But... I'm at the spot where I'd rather things like internet, phone, tokens, etc just cost their damn cost (ex - bill me at the actual costs your company incurs to provide the service, plus some markup).

I must be missing something -- Cursor has no unlimited plan? I'll grant that the usage limits on auto are very generous, though. I think they need to be for Cursor to stay relevant.

I think this is a case of LLM dementia. Cursor used to have unlimited "Auto" model usage, although that ended as of September 15, 2025.

TIL harness benching.. https://www.harness-bench.ai/leaderboard.html - is this legit? Never even heard of nanobot.

Yes. Cursor is significantly better at understanding context without needing a 5 page spec or burning a truckload of tokens. And it's debug mode is top tier if you haven't tried it - people sleep on Cursor.

The team training the model is not the team working on the harness.
