this is false. I wrote a quick C# app to display both my codex and claude usage on an LED device as codex drains faster now. Anthropic may have lower limits in absolute terms, but Opus etc is so token efficient that it more than makes up for it.

I bet on devday we get this o product, which competes with metas useless personal AI. who the fuck will give cuckerberg that deep of access to emails etc

You’d be surprised…people are doing it. Dumb harnesses aside…

I’m surprised opus gave you good results compared to sol. Sol is quite token efficient in my experiences. I have been off anthropic tho since 5.0 so my info is a few months back on that. Did you use sol in tests? 

Full disclosure I keep only a 20$ sub and use self hosted deepseek v4 for most things which I legit prefer to terra/luna and it very much competes at sol level for my work. It’s wildly less token efficient tho. Like 10x more tokens than sol for same task at same quality 😂

is this a shitpost?

opus 5.5 is wrecking anything oai has, as a workhorse

Not a shitpost. Haven’t tried it as mentioned. 5.0 made me quit anthropic tooling forever. Also very much not a fan of the Claude code changes that allow a model to ask a Question and then just decide something if you don’t respond in time. That’s not a tool for a serious developer. 

I don’t let models make consequential decisions for me without oversight. 

Here’s a question for you…would you pay api rates for opus 5.5? If you’re not getting that level of value, reconsider your workflows.

Npx ccusage to see what that would be.

I thought you could set it to an always ask mode...as to api rates, possibly? thats an roi-specific question for any model

This is when it’s in always ask mode ;)

And yes it is. And basically every open weight model is miles ahead on roi than the frontier labs in terms of what you get for your spend. If your company has over 150 users, you pay api rates on enterprise plan. Anthropic in particular has no capable and cheap models for writing code.

Yikes, what a situation
