#22I found out about this from my Claude Status menu bar I built last time it went down! It's invisible most of the time, unless the status goes down then a yellow or red marker appears. Improvements welcome: https://github.com/titojankowski/claude-status

#23Earlier quoted context omitted.
As opposed to what?
If you don't have regulatory hurdles to jump over then there are a whole raft of open-weight models that perform basically as well as Anthropic's offerings (and, in many cases, better because they're pulling fewer capacity-stretching shenanigans). Check out Kimi, DeepSeek, and GLM series models in particular with something like OpenCode or Pi as a coding harness. If you need a Claude-alike web UI then spin up Open We…
Kimi and DeepSeek are impressive for their size but still run slow on any hardware you or I would have. If you’re proposing we run those via a cloud service, I don’t see a reason to do that when it’s an inferior model and I still have to pay per token for it.

#25Yeap, all Oauth sessions got kicked and can't get back in. Welp, switching to Deepseek V4 Flash 0731 via OpenRouter.
Stoked that AI is in a place we have legitimate options available!

We’re in the phase of society where we will just build something like this ourselves using an LLM and it will be built exactly how we want it and we don’t have to worry about malicious code or forking it and hoping the owner will merge our PR… it’s sad but that’s where we are for anything the size of a menu bar that pings a URL every minute.

#27I asked my OpenClaw agent to build me a Dyson sphere.
Re: Claude Seems Down
#28Use Claude through AWS Bedrock. Never been down for me.
Using it through Bedrock / API the 200$ subscription costs upwards of 6000$ a month.
How do you guys afford this, huge company that grants this?
Definitely not viable for my lean startup.

OpenCode Go provides a lot of usage for these models for the paltry sum of $10/month. Z.ai's coding plan provides a single-digit multiple of Claude Code's usage for a similar price and performance level. Kimi and DeepSeek models are hundreds of billions of parameters (or, in K3's case, >1T). Many of these models have Opus-level benchmarks and, as I pointed out previously, often practically outperform Anthropic models because they're more consistent.
