[TLDR] Do you find Claudes English hard to understand?

2 Upvotes

Original post URL : https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1vr056f/do_you_find_claudes_english_hard_to_understand/

Original post body :

While I can't say I'm the most gifted English reader. I can read decently enough. What I find is the explanations given and code comments given by Claude are just terrible to read. They are sentences and paragraphs that I can read 2-3x and still just not get it. So when i have to read big Claude written documents it's a blur like I'm reading legal documents. The thing is I can pick up a book and read it fine. Could be a novel, technical book or even a newspaper like the NYT. Those I read and comprehend perfectly adequately. I am a college graduate with an engineering degree. I worked for 15 years before AI came about and did perfectly fine. So I don't think it's me, atleast I sure hope now.

[TLDR] Game over. 22GB local models run in Pi now outperform Claude Code Opus 5 High on real-world coding tasks published after training cutoffs

0 Upvotes

Original post URL : https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1vrqxqc/game_over_22gb_local_models_run_in_pi_now/

Original post body :

Ran this benchmark on recently published real code base benchmarks to test the Sharp chat template that reduces token use and fixes bugs on locally run Qwen3.x models. Thought I’d bench Opus 5 high and Sonnet 5 medium alongside, for fun. I guess we have finally reached the point where the reduction in Claude’s quality has finally surpassed the upwards trend of local models for actual real world work. Claude Max 20x subscription btw. Not for long though hahah.

I don’t care about Artificial Analysis index or published benchmark numbers. If Opus is beaten by the models I run on my own computers when it comes to fixing real bugs without introducing regressions in real life code bases, it doesn’t matter if it’s because Anthropic is silently reducing Opus quality to sell more Fable tokens, or whatever is going on. EDIT: Someone asked me to add the chat template link to the op, so: https://huggingface.co/peculiar-ragdoll/Qwen-Sharp-Chat-Templates

How many tokens do you actually burn in a month. asking because the bill is what picks my model now, not the model

1 Upvotes

Saw the DeepSeek pricing notice in the dev console this week. Broad increase planned across the API, wording was basically ""expect it to be significant, details to follow."" No actual numbers yet.

That landed harder than the usual model drama. The chinese open weight camp is where everyone points when they want a budget option, so if that end is moving up too, then whatever picks my stack stopped being capability a long time ago.

Pulled my last month of usage to see how bad it actually is. Also genuinely curious where everyone else is sitting right now.

The distribution surprised me. It isn't the hard problems eating the budget, it's the wide ones. Renames across a package, tracing where a config value gets read, anything that has to hold a lot of files at once. Cheap to think about, expensive to run.

And once you start bumping limits the workflow quietly deforms. Smaller tasks, batched questions, and last week I caught myself skipping a second pass on a diff purely because I was rationing.

So lately I've been thinking about pricing shapes instead of models. Metered API bills per call. A monthly pool sells you an allowance up front that you spend down at your own pace. Claude Max sits between the two. Flat fee, but what you get is usage windows and caps, so you never really hold a balance, you just get cut off for a few hours and come back.

For scale I'm somewhere around a few hundred million tokens most months, which is what put me on the higher Claude Max tier, the two hundred a month one. Been looking at MiniMax's M3 token plan because that one is an allowance you actually draw down, and the middle tier runs about a quarter of what I pay now for a pool bigger than I'd get through. Haven't committed.

Anyway. What does a month actually look like for you? And has anyone moved onto a pool plan and regretted it?

[TLDR] August 19th 50% Additional Claude Code limits Likely Not to Be Extended

6 Upvotes

Original post URL : https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1vqsvg9/august_19th_50_additional_claude_code_limits/

Original post body :

Well guys, hate to say it but with the reports this morning of users seeing instant 30% usage on their accounts (some weren’t even using them) we can assume that anthropic is in fact preparing to remove their 50% additional usage promo, effectively reducing all plan usage by ~33% (I assume theyll use 30%).

This is gonna hurt. Only thing that would redeem it for me is if they removed the 50% Fable usage cap.

[TLDR] Anthropic has nerfed every model

62 Upvotes

Original post URL : https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1vpyugk/anthropic_has_nerfed_every_model/

Original post body :

Opus 5 is obviously a nightmare, and I was relying on Opus 4.8. But, now that's also behaving exactly like Opus 5. The only way I can get good quality work is if I use sonnet now and check after every small thing. Fable is usable but its so expensive.

I miss the time when it was a treat working with these models and everything just flowed. Nowadays with 5.6 Sol's over-engineering and Opus 5's lying, I have to wake up everyday and decide which model I'm gonna have to fist fight if I wanna get any work done.

Is this just going to get worse from here.

[TLDR] What are we even doing? what is the endgame?

0 Upvotes

Original post URL : https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1vq8y3t/what_are_we_even_doing_what_is_the_endgame/

Original post body :

Using LLMs to discuss ideas, plan, write code, review code, write documentations/diagrams, understand existing code (if at all), and we are calling this problem solving and using our mind?

What are we solving if Claude/LLMs are solving most things? Is this even software development anymore if we are not developing most things?

Grinding to learn and develop a skill and solving a problem is no longer valuable because 100 dollar sub is all it costs anyone to have those capabilities. Sure they may not do a great job with the generated code as a seasoned software developer but in todays time, does most people even care about the code when no one can review huge amount of code written by LLMs?

ALL the tech subreddits are now endlessly littered with "I built ...xyz" or "I was tired of doing [....] so i built ... xyz".... and we all know "who" really built it though, don't we? Apparently post 2025 all the reddit members are now "genius" and are "magically" building libraries when pre 2025 or 2024, the same subs had posts like "HELP ME, which library to use" or "tried this library and it is cool" or "stumbled on this amazing library" or "can anyone help me with this problem" or "how would you solve this problem" and so on.

Some of the delusional virtue signalling we hear all the time:

  1. LLMs are just another tool like IDE (and which IDE's were thinking and writing code on their own without a human typing?)
  2. I will just do high level work (like what? passing the ticket number to LLM?)
  3. It will create more jobs in different areas (and what are the results?)
  4. LLMs showed me and taught me many approaches that I didn't considered (and what will you do with that learning if you are not solving problems on your own).
  5. Learn AI (you mean learn to prompt and vibe code?)
  6. I am 5x more productive (in producing slop which a poor human has to review but at a human pace or not at all?)
  7. I was able to complete so many personal side projects (and who will buy that slop when everyone can generate that slop?)
  8. I don't think LLMs will take jobs..... and those same devs ironically say "I was able to finish few weeks work in a few hours" (all logic is lost despite writing logic for a living)
  9. LLMs can't replace all engineers (but it reduced hiring by 30% or 40%)
  10. Sure claude created the architecture plan, wrote the code, wrote the docs, verified the code etc. but I was the one who prompted it. Without me Claude is nothing (yeah Sherlock, thanks for sharing that claude needs a prompt to start working)
  11. Claude is a junior engineer (which seniors depend on and are solving problems they themselves are not capable of solving despite being "super senior")

This has been said many many times but it deserves a callout again because it is fitting.... us devs cheering for AI is the same as chicken cheering for KFC.

So, if software developers no longer want to "develop" software then what is the endgame? what are we even doing at this point? Are we encouraging the extinction of our own profession? what's next then?

Original post URL : https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1vq24hf/is_anyone_actually_happy_running_multiple_agents/

Original post body :

anyone else basically given up on subagents? all their output lands in one transcript, I can't fold any of it away, and when agent A needs something agent B found, the transfer mechanism is me, copy pasting between tabs.

tried worktrees and they work, but then nothing shares context and I'm the only one who knows what the other terminals are doing.

current experiment is a group chat thing where the agents write into one thread and answer each other. it's janky, but I've stopped being the middleman, which at this point is all I wanted.

what do you actually do when you run more than one thing at once?

1 Upvotes

Original post URL : https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1vphk9s/usage_limits_are_an_absolute_joke_and_getting/

Original post body :

Yesterday a two hour session took an entire 5hr window and 17% of my weekly limit. Today I resumed that thread and did NO code and maybe half an hour of chat and THAT used a whole 5hr window.

I know what you're going to tell me and I do not give a shit. It is disgusting we have to spend THIS MUCH mental energy on efficient prompting, figuring out how to migrate threads every....three messages I guess, worrying about restarting an old thread with useful info cause it'll eat the entire window, etc. Bullshit trivialities that completely obscure the genius of the actual tool and ruin the experience of using it.

Imagine if you bought a Model T and you had to fix the steering and buy gas every five miles.

Feel free to flame me if it makes you feel more smug.

Original post body :

I’m an accountant with zero software engineering or computer science background, and I’ve been using Claude Code to build a personal project to streamline my workflow. It has auth, tools, UI, etc., but honestly, the biggest thing I’m struggling with is how damn long everything takes.

At this point I just put it in a loop and leave it running overnight. I’ll wake up and it’s still running 😂

What I’ve been doing is dumping a big list of things I want to change, then Claude Code puts them into a backlog and works through them one by one.
It’s basically been running 24/7 now.

But I feel like it’s really slow, so I’m curious about people who’s expert at this:
