I was originally on Claude's $100 plan. After finishing my project, I took a vacation. When I came back, I tried the free ChatGPT tier and was really impressed, so I upgraded to their $20 plan. I actually want to move up to their $100 plan now, but I'm currently stuck at the $20 tier due to an issue with their payment system. Here is how the two compare based on my recent workflow: **Claude Opus** **Performance**: It is still a very good model, but it has recently become quite **lazy**. It tends to ignore hard, complex tasks as well as basic supportive tasks. **Usage Limits**: Roughly com...

Subscribed to Claude 20 Max two days ago (more than 200 euros/month...). Service was more than underwhelming, so I immediately requested refund after one day and a half and therefore within the 14-day withdrawal period guaranteed by Article L221-18 of the French Code de la consommation (EU Consumer Rights Directive). I wanted to terminate it right away because I am truly unhappy with it. Refused by an AI support agent ("Fin AI Agent") on the grounds that a refund had previously been issued on my account (of 20 euros in the past). This limitation does not appear in Anthropic's published Cons...

My mother sadly sends me a lot of doomsday and other materials that I can't be bothered to eve look at anymore. Over the weekend I made it my fun project to let Claude "look" at some videos so I didn't have to suffer from brain cell loss. On the last one, I got this response to my prompt. I almost felt sorry for it, because that's my reaction every time I get a mail from mom.

Reddit user seeks advice on setting up local coding agents like Claude Code with open-weight models via llama.cpp.

I did a deep dive on Claude Design and below are my thoughts. What it does extremely well: * **Improves your prompt** \- similar to "ask me questions" when chatting to an LLM. Can make the difference between slop and actually useful. * **Invokes agent skills for you** \- a game changer for people who don't live in the terminal * **Claude Code handoff** \- easily get Claude Code to build it for real with a simple link share. Genius. * **Comment feature** \- spatial editing (similar to Cursor and a few others), but selection is very accurate and I like how you can queue up edits and select wh...

Reddit discussion on productivity trade-offs of parallel Claude conversations; anecdotal user experiences, no empirical data.

Claude 4.7 identified journalist Kelsey Piper from 125 words of unpublished writing across multiple genres; ChatGPT and Gemini failed same test, raising privacy/fingerprinting concerns.

User reports unexpected downgrade from Claude Pro to free tier after cancelling subscription early.

After working with Claude, I realized I had zero visibility into what was eating my tokens or what security risks were being taken. So, I built a pkg that sits between you and Claude, reading every tool call before it executes. It catches leaked credentials, detects when an agent is spinning in circles, and lets you set guardrails without manual intervention. https://preview.redd.it/9oijewhg4jxg1.png?width=1520&format=png&auto=webp&s=375605d29cbec96a995cecaa946a1f4e4abb04c5 I ran it on my own session history from the last few days. Here’s what it found: \- 12 leak candidat...

I don’t usually use AI to draft emails but today I had to pull some info from a number of sources so had Claude draft something. I did lol when I saw the sign off under my email signature. “Sent with righteous man power” - I have no idea where it came from but it did make me laugh.

Sorry for this long boring post but video encoding enthusiasts might find this one helpful information. And, it's an impressive set of circumstances. To recap quick, there was a strange dorito smear happening where the color was lifting off of image vertically, you can see it the most if you look at the top of the bend of the pipe on the tower to the left. It was bothering me and I had suspected TAA ghosting, SDFGI issues, codec issues and/or a NVENC bug. But, nothing we did would solve it. I went to bed and asked Claude to drill into it until it found a solution. Here it is for posterity (af...

Darwin-36B-Opus: 36B MoE model created via evolutionary breeding of Qwen3.6-35B and Claude-distilled variants, released as GGUF quantization.

I built Storybloq (previously Claude Story) for my own Claude Code workflow, and used Storybloq itself to build Storybloq. The `.story/` directory in the repo has tracked every ticket, issue, and session handover across the project's development, so the tool is its own longest-running test case. Sharing it in case it's useful. It's free and open source. The problem: every new Claude Code session forgets the last one. So you re-explain architecture, re-litigate tradeoffs you already settled, and the codebase drifts a degree at a time on long projects. Storybloq gives your repo a `.story/...

TL;DR: If your git commits mention "HERMES.md" (uppercase), Claude Code quietly stops using your Max plan and starts billing you at API rates. Anthropic's support acknowledged the bug, thanked me for finding it, and refused a refund. Apparently their AI safety principles don't extend to your wallet. **The story** I'm on Max 20x ($200/month). Today Claude Code started throwing: \> "You're out of extra usage. Add more at [claude.ai/settings/usage](http://claude.ai/settings/usage) and keep going." Weird, because my plan dashboard showed 13% weekly usage and 0% current session. 86...
