How is this even possible?

Incase i'm missing something, why wouldn't it be possible?

Claude and Gemini have similar offerings for a similar/same price, i thought. Eg if Claude Code can do it for $200/m, why can't Cerebras?

(honest question, trying to understand the challenge for Cerebras that you're pointing to)

edit: Maybe it's the speed? 2k tokens/s sounds... fast, much faster than Claude. Is that what you're referring to?

If you would like to try this in a coding agent (we find the qwen3-coder model works really well in agents!), we have been experimenting with Cerebras Code in Sketch. We just pushed support, so you can run it with the latest version, 0.0.33:

  brew install boldsoftware/tap/sketch
  CEREBRAS_API_KEY=...
  sketch --model=qwen3-coder-cerebras -skaband-addr=
Our experience is it seems overloaded right now, to the point where we have better results with our usual hosted version:

  sketch --model=qwen

> running at speeds of up to 2,000 tokens per second, with a 131k-token context window, no proprietary IDE lock-in, and no weekly limits! I was excited, then I read this: > Send up to 1,000 messages per day—enough for 3–4 hours of uninterrupted vibe coding. I don't mind paying for services I use. But it's hard to take this seriously when the first paragraph claim is contradicting the fine prints.

1,000 messages per day should be plenty as a daily development driver. I use claude code sonnet 4 exclusively and I do not send more than 1,000 messages per day. However, that is my current understanding. I am certainly not pressing enter 1,000 times! Maybe there are more messages being sent under the hood that I do not realize?

Does it work with claude-code-router? I was getting API errors this week trying to use qwen3 Cerebras through OpenRouter with Claude code router.

API Error: 422 {"error":{"message":"Error from provider: {\"message\":\"body.messages.0.system.content: Input should be a valid string\",\"type\":\"invalid_request_error\",\"param\":\"validation_error\",\"code\":\"wrong_api_format\"}

At $200/month the comparable should be Opus 4 not Sonnet 4.

Not really. With Opus 4 you will burn into the thousand a month with serious usage. I tested it yesterday and 5 hours of use was 60$. If I extrapolate that you will easily hit 1K+.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

If you’re reviewing every change then what does “vibe coding” even mean?

It's not like human code doesn't need review.

the usage of vibe coding in my experience is towards those folks who run whatever the AI produced and if it does what they expect without throwing errors they ship it. If it throws errors they plug that back into the chatbot until the code stops throwing errors.

The whole point of vibe coding is its working faster than you would on your own. If you're reviewing it carefully and understand how it works, you might as well have written it by hand.
