It’s a true statement - no weekly limits, just a daily limit. Easier to work with when you can only get locked out of your tool for 23h59m

The CC weekly limits are in place to thwart abuse. This bit of marketing isn't particular useful as that limit primarily impacts those who are running it at all hours.

OTOH, 5 hour limits are far superior to daily limits when both can be realistically hit.

Tried this out with Cline using my own API key (Cerebras is also available as a provider for Qwen3 Coder via via openrouter here: https://openrouter.ai/qwen/qwen3-coder ) and realized that without caching, this becomes very expensive very quickly. Specifically, after each new tool call, you're sending the entire previous message history as input tokens - which are priced at $2/1M via the API just like output tokens.…

This seems to be rate limited by message not token so the lack of cache may matter less

The lack of caching causes the price to increase for each message or tool call in a chat because you need to send the entire history back after every tool call. Because there isn’t any discount for cached tokens you’re looking at very expensive chat threads.

Their hardware is incredible. Why aren’t more investors lining up for this in this environment?

Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think that you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong.

I'm finding myself switching between subscriptions to ChatGPT, T3 Chat, DeepSeek, Claude Code etc. Their subscription models aren't compatible with making it easy to take your data with you. I wish I could try this out and import all my data.

define 'crazy'. it's two kilotokens per second. that's fast .

It generates code faster than I can inspect it. In other words, it's needlessly fast.

You might be able to use the extra time to have it do things like run some formatters, linters, run the code in a VM before you inspect it, or modify it for compliance with a style guide that you've written, and continually revise it for up to 5 tries until the conditions are met, something like that.

So maybe there's something useful to do with the extra speed. But it does seem more "useful" for vibe coding than for writing usable/good code.

Neither do perfectly efficient, perfectly rational markets.

There is i believe a forked Gemini Code which will work like Claude Code, or so it looks like on Youtube.

Yes it’s called OpenCode and today I was surprised to learn it works with Claude Pro/Max subscriptions: https://opencode.ai/docs/

OpenCode is not a fork of the Gemini CLI. It is its own thing.

In this case the hardware is a nightmare to program.
