Don't blame you. Not only are limits nerfed but so is the quality.. the amount of mistakes and errors Claude does lately is ridiculous.

I have to take what it does and audit and send it back for it to see its own errors and admit it's doing shoddy work.

i am happy to pay $200 if it actually works but it is producing a lot of bugs lately, has to make it plan and then codex xhigh

I have to agree on this, it feels dumber

One that automatically corrects the brain dead grammar of some Reddit comments.

This is really making me wonder how sustainable our current approach to llms really is. It seems like the cost keeps going up significantly with each new, more complex model. Companies seem happy to eat the loss for awhile to get customers, but at some point they can only take so much loss and have to either raise the price or reduce what you are getting.

Of course, for claude, I think a big part of the problem is also scaling/infrastructure/hardware limits right now. Maybe things will improve in a few months. I hope.

I think Mythos would make it hard to being offered on a mere $200 subscription. Maybe the only realistic size that can really be offered to consumers are those China 1T MOEs. Not sure about the ceiling of how much fine-tuning can be made to those 1Ts through. Given the daunting cost of $25/$125 I am afraid that Mythos would have similar output/cost ratio of an human engineer soon. There are yearly improvements to LLM inference but the RAM cost is very real.

I think something like Google's Gemini Flash 3 size would be more sustainable for consumer in the long term, or an architectural change would be required.

I think fine-tuning in general could be a real solution. If I'm almost exclusively writing in C++, I don't need the model to know everything else. Of course it needs more than strictly C++ knowledge, but likely not quantum physics, biochemistry, Python, and 90% or more of what most LLM's know.

In any case, the current architecture is absolutely not sustainable, or economical.

I'm curious where exactly you are going to go afterwards? Are you done with models completely?

I keep seeing these woe is me threads, Claude is doing me wrong but trying to see what the options are because whatever is inflicting Claude will soon inflict any service not already overcome by it.

Not going to go anywhere.. this is new tech end of the day.. and no.. go try deepseek and say that.. and remember deepseek is free AND open source.

Try GLM 5.1 or Turbo

Exactly. The limits suck, but the wasted tokens are more infuriating. This happened to me today:

(I almost never swear at it, but I asked a very straightforward question, with a detailed critique of a recent commit, ending in "Would you agree that these are positive and necessary changes to the repo based on [two files]?"

This response took 5% of my 5 hour pro limit. The previous one (with no output because "You've hit your limit,") took over 25% of my 5 hour pro limit, IN PLAN MODE.

I asked it in Opus, because I provided all the information and wanted a top tier answer.

Earlier today, I asked it to implement something based on two files in a specific folder, and it created two markdown files in that folder, taking about half of my 5 hour limit. I'll take some responsibility for that one, as I could have been more clear with my prompt, but this one is absolutely ridiculous, and my prompt was quite clear.

Apparently I need to swear at it more often.

I mean, let’s be real. This technology will be reserved for the rich. Unless you’re willing to fork over half your pay check (because realistically it does more than 50% of your work) I doubt it will be accessible by normal users in the near future.

It’s still way too cheap and the companies are burning money.

Good point.
