I'd like to give these a try - what's your way of using them? I mostly use Claude because of Claude Code. Not sure what agentic coding tools people are using these days with OSS models. I'm not a big fan of manually uploading files into a web UI.

The most private way is to use them on your own machine; a Mac Studio maxed out to 512GB RAM can run GLM-4.5 at FP8 with fairly long context, for example. If you don't have the hardware to run it locally, let me shill my own company for a minute: Synthetic [1] has a $20/month subscription to most of the good open-weight coding LLMs, with higher rate limits than Claude's $20/month sub. And our $60/month sub has higher…

Is there a possibility of my work leaning to others? Does your staff have the ability to view prompts and responses? Is tenancy shared with other users, or entities other than your company?

This looks really promising since I have also been having all sorts of issues with Claude.

They need to focus on fixing reliability first. Their systems constantly go down and it appears they are having to quantise the models to keep up with demand, reducing intelligence significantly. New features like this feel pointless when the underlying model is becoming unusable.

Have you run into the bug where claude acts as if it updated the artifact, but it didn’t? You can see the changes in real time, but then suddenly it’s all deleted character by character as if the backspace was held down, you’re left with the previous version, but claude carries on as if everything is fine. If you point it out, it will acknowledge this, try again, and… same thing. The only reliable fix I’ve seen is to…

Happens all the time. Like right now

I just published an extensive review of the new feature, which is actually Claude Code Interpreter (the official name, bafflingly, is Upgraded file creation and analysis - that's what you turn on in the features page at least). I reverse-engineered it a bit, figured out its container specs, used it to render a PDF join diagram for a SQLite database and then re-ran a much more complex "recreate this chart from this sc…

I've nicked a sentence from your article to use as the title above. Hope that's clearer!

I'm not sure how saying it won't even run CLI commands has anything to do with my ability to code with or without it.

I don't know what the question implied but generally speaking it is a known effect that making AI do the things you used to do accumulates cognitive debt which seems intuitively true too. Physical exercise is a good analogy perhaps.

In this case it's relatively simple things like figuring out the correct ffmpeg command to pull frames from a video, which is then documented in the CLAUDE file. Granted, I don't understand the underpinnings of LLMs but I would've understood that things documented in the CLAUDE file help it reduce cognitive complexity and "remember" more easily something relatively simple like that example.

They buried the lede so deeply in this one. Claude now has an entire Linux container running Python and node.js and able to install extra packages. It's about way more then just "editing files" - it's equivalent to ChatGPT Code Interpreter. https://simonwillison.net/2025/Sep/9/claude-code-interpreter...

For the past two to three weeks I've noticed Claude just consistently lagging or potentially even being throttled for pretty minor coding or CLI tasks. It'll basically stop showing any progress for at least a couple minutes. Sometimes exiting the query and re-trying gets it to work but other times it keeps happening. I pay for Pro so I don't think it's just API rate limiting. Would appreciate if that could be fixed b…

I see this quite a lot via Copilot using Claude. It'll just get stuck on a token for a while.

My experience is similar. At first Claude was super smart and get even very complicated things right. Now even super simple tasks are almost impossible to finish right, even if I really chop things into small steps. Also it's much slower even on Pro account than a few weeks ago.

I'm on the $200 / month account and its also slower than a few weeks ago. And struggling more and more.

I used to think of it as a decent sr dev working alongside me. Not it feels like an untrained intern that takes 4-5 shots to get things right. Hallucinated tables, columns, and HTML templates are its new favorite thing. And calling things "done" that aren't even half done and don't work in the slightest.

It's much less clear.

I don't have access to this yet, so can someone who does tell if: it can take a .PDF with single table with, say, a list of food items and prices. And then in a .docx in the same folder with a table with, say, prices and calories. Can this thing then, in a one shot, produce a .xlsx with the items and calories and save that to the same directory? It really doesn't matter what the lists are of, just keep it very simple…
