To everyone who has been feeling like their MAX subscription is a waste of money, give GLM 4.5 a try, i use it with claude code daily on the $3 plan and it has been great

I pay $100 a month and wouldn’t hesitate for a millisecond if I needed to pay the $200/mo plan if I hit rate limits. It’s hard to overstate how much of a productivity shift Claude code has been for shipping major features in our app. And ours is an elixir app. It’s even better with React/NextJS. I literally won’t be hitting any “I need to hire another programmer to handle this workload” limits any time soon.

That's not what the op asked. They didn't ask whether claude is useful in general, they asked whether it was good compared to other LLMs.

On of the tricks to a healthy discussions is to actually read/listen to what the other side is trying to say. Without that, you're just talking to yourself.

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.

Gotta assume theyre reducing overall compute with smaller models cause 200$ aint squat for their investment.

Anyone else having serious reliability issues with artifact editing? I find that the artifacts quite often get "stuck", where the LLM is trying to edit the artifact but the state of the artifact does not change. Seems like the LLM is somehow failing in editing the artifact silently, while thinking that it is actually doing the edits. The way to resolve this is to ask Claude to make a new artifact, which then has all…

Quite regularly.

I instruct artifacts to not be used and then explicitly provide instruction to proceed with creation when ready.

Wondering why they are not using uv instead of pip in the container, give that uv is much faster than pip.

You can tell it to install uv. I just ran this:

  Run "pip install uv" then run
  "uv tool install sqlite-utils"
  then "sqlite-utils --version"
And it worked: https://claude.ai/share/df36f3a8-44f0-4c7d-bb64-e5ed57602d79

I imagine they still default to pip because there's more training data about it, and it works fine.

The real money is in collecting and reselling user data, so if Joe gives his recent finances to "Anthropic" in order to plan a trip to Italy (this is one of the examples in the submission), perhaps credit rating agencies would like a copy.

Finally they figure out that there is no money or interest in code-plagiarizing apps!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I bet you could easily get an LLM to write a python script that would do that for you.

Can the LLM also convince IT to allow me to run Python? I'd like an all-in-one tool of an LLM front-end which can access multiple files since that is more easily explained/permission granted for.

have it generate a rust/go binary that calls the api or ollama etc. It runs in a for loop over the files you give it with a prompt you add as a command line argument and off you go! :)

Claude code should be able to wire that up in about 10 min including going off and setting up gitlab actions for testing etc :D

Instead of building random features, they have to fix their quality first. I'm on 100$ Max plan, I would even buy 2x 200$ plan if Opus would stop randomly being dumb. Especially after 7am ET time.

Maybe they are switching you to a cheaper to run model after 7am ET time.

Yeah in agent mode it compiles code and runs tests, if anything breaks it attempts to fix. Kinda wild to see at first.

I'd probably install a snapshotting filesystem before I let it change stuff on my system (such as installing packages and such).

Or isolate in a VM.
