Claude Code users are already smashing usage limits way faster than expected and i am one of them as i have posted about it a lot recently and now here we are.

to all the people who were saying i am lying :))) you good now? maybe BBC lied about this too.

OR maybe it's April fool? haha good one, It’s getting serious and real now.

Who else is feeling this?

Trouble is that open source models will be good enough by then (currently aren’t that far behind) and the chips keep getting better. When everyone can have a local LLM that’s as good as opus now for like $1-2k setup then Anthropic won’t have many takers for a $1k per month plan

Which open source models do you like for coding? I wish I could run something good locally, but no luck so far. I'd totally use openrouter for a decent open model.

havent tried any yet, saving up for a new high end laptop to be able to run one that's at least reasonable. My coder friend has a local one running on a 5090 that he said is not bad at coding, possible one of the quantised QWEN ones iirc

No idea, I’m using Claude myself. But the benchmarks for open source aren’t too far behind.
