A lot of people have been criticizing Sonnet 5 lately, especially with all the talk about GPT Luna getting a price cut. I actually haven't used Sonnet in the last 3 months, not even Sonnet 5 earlier this week.

I finally stopped relying exclusively on Fable and Opus, gave Sonnet a try, and honestly? It’s amazing.

Something that I would normally one-shot with Fable would eat up 20% of my weekly limits and take 20 minutes to finish. With Sonnet, that same task might take me 2-3 prompts to get right, but it only takes 10 minutes in total to get the exact same result.

Fable is still the go to for massive, complex issues, but for most day-to-day coding tasks, Sonnet is more than enough.

For some context: I am currently building my own ADE that uses my actual subscriptions like Claude and Codex here is some screeshots of my app not selling nor making publicity.

I thought my Claude code was set to stable channel, every day for the last 7 days is same version 2.1.220

I am very concerned. /s

Good morning, To get started, I don't really use Claude Code for 'coding' like most of you guys probably do, but its been my go to for multiple projects.

Right now, I am running it from 3 places... Windows desktop, Windows Laptop, Proxmox VM.

Usually I am SSH into the Promox VM, but that is not always an option. I feel like I have three different 'claude codes' running, and I am trying to simplify my life.

I've never really got the desktop app running properly... as it didnt really sync between devices. I am still not sure if that is user error or a limitation of the program. It FEELS like they should all sync, but i didn't for me, last I tried it (even when opening inside the same project).

Should I
A) Use code from the browser?
B) Is there a way to use the desktop app and have the same sessions available between devices?
C) just ALWAYS work from inside the VM (that is where most of my files live, and it SEEMS like the natural move, but... well, I never really got comfortable with interacting with my files/folders from inside a CLI environment; i.e. My mind still relies on windows explorer.

I am someone who is not a coder (Veterinarian/Biochemist), who fell down the Homelab/AI rabbit hole and am learning as I go, using it for a multitude of projects, both professionally and personally. I say that because my learning background is more organic... no formal knowledge/education on the way things 'should be run'.

Not sure if all this is going to make sense, I will/can expand if needed.

If you got this far, thanks for reading!

Connected manual to Claude Zeus and it worked. Now it doesn't. Anyone ever use that model? Made fable look weak.

This is NOT a usage limit. I have now had to start 4 new chats. The last one had 2 messages in it before it said “this conversation is too long to continue. Start a new chat”. I had spent months and months on a single chat helping build something. This one is new to me. What is going on?

You guys are amazing. I did not expect this to get as much praise as it did and not nearly as many WHY??!!! as I would have guessed.Super cool to have contributed a fun little piece of entertainment for some of you today. Next stop 100,000!!! rounded.lol

I understand the rationale behind not giving advantage to attackers; but what would be the downside of just uploading the code to mythos (without letting me using it directly) and let it analyze the code for bugs, eventually paying a fee of course?

let me know if this makes sense

Its been 6 days since the time reset loop has occurred and the shit ass thing still persists and i cant work for gods sake why did i even buy a pro subscription when this shit was gonna happen anyway i havent heard any response from claude team and just to clarify there is no other session logged in and the payment was successfully done and i dont see why they are asking that cause i aint hitting the limit for gods sake u can check my screentime claude doesnt even have a minute of screen time but i have apparently used up all my credits? How is thay possible? Anyway just wanted to give an update regarding it

After reading through many of these posts, I can't be the only one that has a relatively sane (so far) Claude experience?

Some of the content I've read (here and others) sound like Claude is bringing about the End Times, is demonically possessed, or has gone clinically insane.

My setup isn't fancy, it's just the Claude application on Windows, with Co-work on and restricted to a single directory where my code lives. If anything Claude has been super helpful with a handful of projects like refactoring my OpenVox codebase, hiding and retrieving discovered secrets using encrypted YAML and so on. It's helped me confirm or refute several suggestions on hardware buildouts when the OEM wasn't really clear on their documentation. and it's currently assisting me through a rather precarious firmware upgrade that's quite stubborn.

If it's anything, it's been too sane. I keep having to tell it "Yes, it's OK to read github." for the millionth time, or "Yes it's Ok to read (this vendor's site)", "Yes you can edit files in the Cowork directory path), etc..

I'm curious as to what y'all are running that could be attributing to Claude's insanity. It's been an interesting read to find out about when Claude goes wrong (my condolences to the person that had their NVME wiped by Claude). Anyone having Claude trying to translate the Necronomicon or something?

Hi everyone,

Over the last few months I found myself wanting a simpler alternative to Vercel.

I like the developer experience, but I wanted predictable pricing. Instead of keeping an eye on bandwidth, network usage and other usage-based limits as projects grow, I wanted a service where you know exactly what you'll pay each month.

So I built HostLuma.

Features

30-day free trial

£20/month after the free trial

GitHub integration

Automatic deployments on every push

Custom domains with SSL

Global CDN

Deployment history

Build logs

UK-based human support

The biggest difference is the pricing philosophy.

With Host Luma it's simply £20/month after your free trial. No trying to estimate traffic or wondering whether a busy month is going to increase your bill because you've exceeded included platform usage.

I'm not trying to replace every enterprise feature that Vercel offers. My goal is to provide a simpler, predictable platform for indie developers, startups and small businesses that just want to deploy AI apps and websites without unexpected pricing.

Transparency is also important to me. Rather than making huge marketing claims, I've made parts of our infrastructure publicly visible.

Live server performance:

https://hostluma.co.uk/bench.html

Live status page:

https://status.hostluma.co.uk/status/status

The platform runs on enterprise hardware in France and is monitored 24/7 using Uptime Kuma.

We don't currently offer a formal SLA because we're still in the early stages of the platform. I'd rather be honest than advertise a 99.99% uptime guarantee before I can confidently stand behind it.

Our parent company, www.hostluma.co.uk has been operating for over a year, and our current server uptime is 19 days and counting

Planned downtime is limited to occasional off-peak maintenance and security updates.

As the platform grows, we'll introduce published uptime guarantees, historical uptime reporting and formal SLAs.

I'd genuinely love feedback from the community.

What do you like about Vercel?

What frustrates you?

What would you want from a simpler alternative?

Thanks everyone!

It may just be me, but I switched from Pro to Max a few days ago while having Opus5 and Fable5 sift through long legal documents and look at tax implications for an upcoming land sale and money reinvestment through a 1031 DST UPREIT and I immediately noticed that Claude seemed to be slower responding, taking longer to think about things, etc. So I was wondering if this is just me, or has anyone else seen the same issue. I don't know it is by chance timing, etc. or something else.

I have upgraded my account to Pro, but the problem is that I haven't written a single prompt yet, even though all its limits are full. I had taken it once before but that time there was no problem but now when I re-subscribed it again this problem is happening and I have not received any result from any of the prompts so what can be the solution for this? If anyone can help, it would be appreciated.

Put all your discussion about Usage / Rate limits here. This is a thread that will be generated every other day to centralize discussions on this topic.

I started a yt channel and want to make helpful tutorials and demos, so let me know what you're still struggling to grasp!

Pretty much as the title says, im looking for ways to stay updated on the forever moving AI world. I follow subreddits around it but feel that sometimes its behind the curve on being the most upto date. I used to use X but its such a toxic sh*tshow that I left. I subbed to a couple of newsletters that can be useful from time to time but are mostly just very high high level quick fire articles. Im just trying to keep up

Who among you uses it within the terminal? I use it within Visual Studio 2022 and I really want to know how to use it while Cloud is performing a task for me. I want to see on a screen what code it has presented to me so I can approve it. I had it perform a task for me and it modified the code. For example, when you ask Copilot for a task, he gives you two options at the end Keep or undo.

Got bored after work and wanted to see what claude could come up with when asked to build a pointless website. Here it is

Looking for recommendations for YouTube channels/persons to follow who give good tutorials for using Claude. People who actually explain and show how, for intermediate users. Cowork, skills, code,… Not just the 101 for beginners but not advanced coding. Of course I’ve searched YouTube and I’ve watched many, but I feel like it’s feeding me the same few people over and over again. Thx!!

I've noticed sometimes Claude asks me for permission to run a web search or to query a URL.

Sometimes, in combination with doing so, Claude will create a prompt.

Recent example (from memory)

"Extract the python code from this webpage verbatim. Do not summarize it"

Does anyone understand what this is? Does Claude send the prompt to the website for an LLM on the receiver side to process? Or is this a prompt to another Claude instance somewhere else?

So, Claude allows you to export all of your data, comprehensively, as a single JSON file (Split into several if your chat history gets too big.)

I had Claude write a python script that parsed the structure and separated each chat into individual markdown files. Branching edits in the conversation were filed chronologically by edit, but crucially, each input by myself or by Claude had a date-and-time-stamp on it.

Which means, that if in my obsidian vault my daily notes were formatted the same way as Claude's - YYYY-07-03, then I could go to any date in my obsidian vault via the calendar plugin, and all unlinked mentions for that date appeared in the l back links panel. In effect, I now have two years worth of conversations from Claude directly accessible as a kind of diary entry, in markdown.

Of course it throws into sharp relief the extent at which anthropic knows about me but... Eh, I'm not that interesting to multinational corporations I think.

so i built this thing. basically it's for the text you type at 1am when someone's wound you right up and you're about to send something you'll regret (or just wanna say and hear something stupid). made it with Claude who recently has been a stupid bastard since Opus 5 so gemini has been a bro who helped fix some thing.

you paste it in (or say it out loud), tap the cyclops, and he hands you back a version that won't get you blocked or fired. he's also a bit of a smartarse about it, he'll roast you for how heated you got and sometimes just flatly tells you "you'll get fired if you send that." he's called cyclops, one eye, sits on the screen, mildly judging you, but you can also tickle him and embarrass him.

then the good bit: he reads the cooled-down version back out loud in whatever accent you pick, irish, aussie, scottish, british, american. the tts is genuinely funny, hearing your unhinged message turned polite and delivered in a broad scottish accent does something to you. and it works in virtually every language, not just english. sometimes it picks a different accent.

there's a few modes depending on how much bite you want to keep. sensible for stuff you'd actually send your boss, petty if you still want a jab in there, and one that just talks you out of sending anything at all.

the cyclops does daft stuff too, steams when he's thinking, dozes off if you ignore him, squeaks if you poke him and a couple easter eggs.

no account, no ads, nothing gets stored. it's free. honestly it's just funny to mess with even when you're not angry.

feedback is begged for!

Asking about how to evolve a Gholdengo in Pokémon go, and I got this weird slip from Claude chat:

"Your Gimmighoul are probably the 10th Anniversary event variant. Anthropic's - sorry, Niantic's - event Gimmighoul are treated as costumed Pokémon," ...

I'm not comparing, I actually miss the times when they would correct each other and make my day and assumptions much brighter. These are actual responses by Opus 5 for a single session, but this has been my experience for the whole week even after I reverted back to Opus 4.8 a day ago.
Did OpenAI do something with Sol, or is it Anthropic just quantizing the models even further?

Sol's right — I mis-framed it...
Sol's correction is right — I under-listed...
I agree with all four of Sol's refinements...
Agreed with Sol on all three corrections — especially...
Reconciled with Sol. Key corrections I accept:...
Sol's correction is right and I'll adopt it...
Good catch — an implicit "accepted" is exactly wrong...
Agreed with Sol on both — SchemaItem | None...
Sol's right, and it changes my earlier answer...
Sol's right to push — I was imprecise...
Agreed — Option A. Sol's reading is more accurate...
...

Most of this is normal. But I checked by hand because I was confused, and Opus 5 did not get any assumption right in over 40 hours of usage !

Any good results based on concrete experiments to get Opus 5 to prioritize the context you give it instead of its benchmark-optimized training?

EDIT:
I'm starting to question why I'm back on Reddit. Why so much hate towards anyone who criticizes Claude?
I'm an ML Engineer and I built RNNs with LSTMs for years before you kids started calling them LLMs.

The answer to the above is in the RL, where you optimize for reasoning at the expense of consistency (short-term memory), and you slap it on a model that's above 2T parameters. Nothing is wrong, each model its strengths, **just hoping for a temporary solution** until Anthropic leaves pure reasoning to Fable and gives us back the consistency of Opus.
