The smell is about folks being attached to the same model because they're used to it. Just like any UI change in an app that one uses everyday is annoying.

What's often missing is the actual engineering. If you have evals for your use case, you use these to adjust to the new model. DSPy has great prompt engineering constructs it ships with.

The smell is all about vibing, where a model feels better because the structure of the answers is more familiar to a person, instead of engineering where given constraints and input/outputs one is using/bending the system to fulfil the requirements.

They highlight the cache write price now much more in the guide. Did it increase vs. prior generations?

$1500/mth is token pricing.

Your other plans are fixed price with rate limits where you get more tokens than the dollar equivalent you pay monthly. These plans are economical only if majority of users spend less tokens in $ than the plan's costs. This subsidizes the gap vs. power users who spend multiple k$ monthly in API tokens.

What's the residual value of Copilot after the changes? For Enterprise plans, even copilot code reviews will be charged at token price + github action minutes for the execution of the review. One can roll one's own reviewer and have it spend the API tokens as well. At least one will be able to select the subset of files for the change set, if needed.

The background agents will also depreciate in value because of their harness that's a black box that's not optimized for token usage at all. Rolling one's own will be a better choice here.

The sample code is written in Elixir, however, they also release the full specs using which one can generate the application in the language of one's choice. I'm curious if this is really so straightforward.

Looks like the blog could use a HN=True. Hope the author won't get banned...

Exactly, I've seen people who bought a Mac Mini and ended up running claw against a claude subscription. Completely misunderstand the point of local models. Plus, there was more hype about running claw way cheaper on Raspberry Pi which cost the stock price of Raspberry maker to skyrocket.

Some of the comments here show that technical people set these things up for non-technical people, which is just one step away from a misstep. Time will show whether this is similar in behavior to the "I can run it" mindset that people had with local models before. A small dopamine hit to see "it can be done" in order to end up a cloud service in the long run.

"OAuth authentication (used with Free, Pro, and Max plans) is intended exclusively for Claude Code and Claude.ai. Using OAuth tokens obtained through Claude Free, Pro, or Max accounts in any other product, tool, or service — including the Agent SDK — is not permitted and constitutes a violation of the Consumer Terms of Service."

With the issues since November where one has to add environment variables, block statsig hosts, modify ~/.claude.json, etc. does anyone have experience in managed setups where versions are centrally set and bumped on company level? Is this worth the hassle?
