I've noticed that too. Maybe the normal Write tool has to output the entire file and this is an attempt to reduce token usage?
> this is an attempt to reduce token usage? Wouldn't generating a Python script to edit files waste more tokens than using the built-in tool?

#122I remember when the SEO nightmare started, it looked like an innocent intelectual investigation exercise like this.
We don't need to reproduce the same errors! Anyway I do think it is going to be different this time because generating content is becoming so easy today that the entire web would just become 99.99% slop very quickly if things don't change. That being said the solution isn't that trivial, curious if you have thoughts on it?
The worse part is a deluge of stupid boomer fanfic (The ones about ungrateful kids, ungrateful employers that fired someone who secretly was a load-bearing (ha!) element for a contract, or HOA drama), self-help stuff, and red-pill incel fanfics.

Actually, yes. Probably this https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/88041#issue...
They love adding flags to fix issues that users have without telling their users about the flags. It very much feels like: As long as our staff can have a good user experience, we're happy. We don't care about anyone else.

#126For some reason Claude Code keeps using awk, sed, and even Python to do basic file editing. Anyone know why that changed with the 5 series?

how does one do that from their comfy chair?
1. Download ollama and give it a try. It doesn't have to be that one but it's an easy on-ramp. Just get a feel for what open source/open weights is capable of 2. Mention it whenever it comes up. Most people have no clue this is a thing and I think it's useful to make people aware. We need access to uncensored / unbiased LLM models - information wants to be free but there are plenty of businesses gunning for regulator…
Weren't people pissed off at them for a variety of reasons? Not giving attribution etc.
In case anyone wants other good alternatives, there's llama.cpp and vLLM, each harder to setup but opens the door for squeezing more performance out of your hardware.
I've also heard okay things about LM Studio and I think Unsloth had their own thing as well: https://unsloth.ai/docs/new/studio

You could also vote with your valley and support orgs that release open weights of their near-SOTA models, though nowadays that means giving cash to primarily Chinese companies (e.g. Moonshot and Z.ai). For what it's worth, people are also complaining about them decreasing usage quotas on their subscription offerings as well so seems like the squeeze is everywhere, even DeepSeek raised their prices (which is better than them going broke, I guess).

For a GUI experience that also serves an OpenAI-compatible API, Unsloth studio or LM Studio is probably the way to go
