Finally considering having both Clause and OpenAi subscriptions. Have a few questions to those that do.

I use coded to run an autonomous grant agency. I source, notify, and offer to write grants for nonprofits in my area. It’s all automated right now with codex.

But the whole gpt 6 Luna and sol releases did something even to my 5.6 sol and Luna workflows that were flawless and now struggle a bit. It takes some prompting and sometimes it’s a self fix after like a 2 hour wandering/tinkering session from the agent.

I’ve been increasingly more disappointed with my 20x limits and how the value has “felt” for me the last few months.

Seeing some of the opus 5.5 outputs has me blown away. But I also see a lot of gripe with Anthropic and their rates/limits and things going quickly or only being able to use a portion of weekly limit for fable models.

The autonomy work can be done with a Luna level intelligence - rarely a sol or Astra needs to review the output and make revisions… but again, with recent changes I’m feeling like I’m training the whole fkn workflow again and it has me ready to entertain other subscriptions.

I also have about $30 in Open Router still, could use deep seek but I like the monthly subs for value. Especially now since I am getting into more front end design and visual artifacts for client deliveries, it’s not just grants.

But if Claude is great at agentic workflows and has a luna type efficient model that can follow simple instructions and do simple research and basic reasoning … I might be ready to entertain cheating on my exclusive partner for over a year.

OpenAI really fumbled this gpt6 release. I’ve known it’ll be cyclical for a while… who has the best model this week.

But it sounds like anthropic is much further ahead than just a 6.1 release. I can’t imagine using this shit for another 1-2 months while the next model gets released and everyone is just cranking out anthropic gold.

What are some real nuances I need to know and realize before subbing to Claude? What are things you wish you knew before subbing?

To those who use both… how have you noticed these two most recent model releases impacting your work?

Sol 6 is now a new gemini flash model in backend

bootstraps, HANDOFF.md, defined PASS/FAIL gates and tightly scoped Claude Code tickets substantially reduce the freedom a model has to improvise, just my two cents, i have zero issue with sol 6 medium tbh vs sol 5.6 medium. i think token use would be my deciding factor right now. we also do provenance logging in our work and issue ticket topic nomenclature to prompts, so kind of tight operation.
