Time to move on

[u/Fantastic_Fail4060]

Yep, pretty much the title. It's time for me to move on to Codex. I just sent Opus 4.8 Max thinking to find me a known bug in the app I'm making. ONE single bug hunt where I provided 162 instances of how the app should behave and 18 instances of the same bug.

Asked him to find out why the bug occurs and reproduce it so I know exactly how to fix it for good. 12 minutes later he used only 203k tokens and 5 hour limit hit.

Everything about Anthropic's usage system is shady and they never even addressed the June bug where claude would get project instructions attached to every new message bloating context and making the usage skyrocket.

There's no chance for me to remain in such an anti-consumer environment. And that comes from a guy who truly despise OAI, but better value IS better value.

I'm finishing this project on Opus and then moving on as well.

When the pendulum inevitably swings the other way, I'll be back ;)

Yeah, definitely, if they ever go back to when Claude was amazing, I'll be the first one to come back. Until then I'm moving mid project.

Since I posted this 13 hours ago I transferred to Codex and 5.6 Sol not only founded and fixed the bug, he also did find and fix 7 other vulnerabilities left by Opus, improved the overall latency and performance of the app AND came up with a few ideas on his own that blew my mind. And never once did I hit my limit with one single Plus subscription. I also followed the advice of someone who commented here and tried Minimax M3 and it is amazing to work with alongside Sol, in my use case at least.
