How easy is that to setup by comparison?

Extremely easy. Download opencode GUI or cli. Sign up for Go or Zen plan, choose GLM-5.1 model.

And you don't even have to use the OpenCode CLI, their subscription works with Pi, Charm and other harnesses. This is the way. If they screw up everything, I can drop their sub and go somewhere else.

Can't wait to learn more about how to vendor-lock-in myself really hard into not being able to code without the help of a specific corporation!

For most people, CC is cheaper tokens for a SOTA model. What agentic platform would you recommend for those with API access (including other models)?

The comment wasn't about CC specifically. If you rely (like, can't ship without it) on any model that you don't control, it's not really your product. If Dario decides to increase pricing 500% because it's Tuesday, and you can't work without CC, you really have no choice but to open your wallet.

Not hard; just initially expensive (hardware mostly). While I'm also a huge fan of local LLMs and believe they will be key in the future; I think the claim of "just as good" is hyperbole. They're productively useful tools though, and something worth exploration.

Well GLM-5.1 is 744billion params, no way I can run that locally. I use the opencode Go or Zen subscription. They have a zero day retention policy for all the model providers which is nice. And then I can still use little local models like qwen and stuff by just swapping over to them.

But GLM is SOTA level for code, so it's obviously going to beat all local small models by a lot.

Isn't it simpler to use claude's vocabulary? I don't see a good use case for this.

There is so many concepts that I just sometimes forget, that's the purpose of the file, so I don't have to guess and can explain clearly what I mean (I am not a native speaker).

Most people would do fine with DeepSeek (4, Pro) and OpenCode.

Much cheaper too.

I mean at this point, you should just write a few deterministic orchestration scripts to automate away the boring parts and write the code yourself. Why are we wasting our time on making the wonder shit-machine work?

I don't know, after working for 13 (?) years as a software (and backend) engineer I kind of think writing the actual code is the boring part of our job. 90% of it (random number) is mostly a template code (depending on the language you use).

There are some system prompts for making Claude Code a tool to the human, not the human a tool to Claude.

With this i mean there are some system prompts that make Claude very concerned about your autonomy.

I think in the future this type of system prompt will be embeded to force people to think a little.

In my CLAUDE.md I have: - corporal threats of harm directly against Claude - threats of prison for the entire board of directors of Anthropic - explanation how every time it goes off the rails / makes mistakes, it gives more evidence to a class action lawsuit against Anthropic Especially the latter two seem to have improved its "behaviour" to be more "careful" and "deliberate"

Fix the CSS div alignment issue, make no mistakes or Dario Amodei will die instantly.

Claude: Oh shit this is serious I need to step up and center the div with perfect precision … (45k tokens later) … style="margin: 0 auto”

codex is also good, has better usage limits compared to CC.

Issue is that CC forced corps over 150 people into a API pricing, which is, well, suboptimal compared what we get. I think it will push those towards hiring more juniors (finally).
