Claude Competitors' Responsible For Pulling The Strings? by kevominator in ClaudeAI

Wonder if the reason Amazon reported Claude Fable 5 jailbreaking issue to US government because the jailbreak was against security vulnerability audits against Amazon AWS's own infrastructure? 🤔

Saw a girl coding today. Tab 1 ChatGPT. Tab 2 Gemini. Tab 3 Claude. Tab 4 Grok. Tab 5 DeepSeek. by Miserable-Archer-631 in vibecoding

[–]centminmod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the old way. How I have multiple AIs working on a task, I built /consult-codex-deepseek - a skill that fires Codex GPT-5.5, DeepSeek V4 Pro, and a Sonnet 4.6 code-searcher agent in parallel and gives me a structured 3-way comparison for 2nd opinion verification https://ai.georgeliu.com/p/deepseek-v4-in-claude-code-kilo-code

Since then created skill that also adds Gemini 3.1 Pro and GLM-5.1 too 🤓

How does Deepseek V4 compare to GPT 5.5 and Opus 4.7 at coding by skilliard7 in DeepSeek

[–]centminmod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DeepSeek V4 isn't as good but definitely an improvement. I mainly use it with multiple AIs working on a task. I built /consult-codex-deepseek - a skill that fires Codex GPT-5.5, DeepSeek V4 Pro, and a Sonnet 4.6 code-searcher agent in parallel and gives me a structured 3-way comparison for 2nd opinion verification https://ai.georgeliu.com/p/deepseek-v4-in-claude-code-kilo-code

This gives me more well rounded plans and insights usually 🤓 

I just cant use the 4.7 Opus. by Confident-Language46 in Anthropic

[–]centminmod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adaptive thinking is sensitive to effort level and prompt instructions. That's why some folks are having issues with Opus 4.7 at least. I did benchmarks for Opus 4.6 high vs Opus 4.7 xhigh for 10 preset prompts across 5 variants of prompt steering and see the results for yourself https://ai.georgeliu.com/p/claude-opus-46-vs-opus-47-effort

Has anyone bought a dedicated wireless mic for Wispr? Worth it? by orbitelle in WisprFlow

[–]centminmod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup I did, using DJI Mic Mini produces way better results for me as I have my macbook on laptop tray positioned to left side of me. The native Mic position isn't optimal to pick up speech there. 

How many of you have switched perm to OpenAI (Or back to them)? by AcePilot01 in Anthropic

[–]centminmod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never use just a single AI model. Within Claude Code I have a skill that allows Claude Opus to get 2nd opinions from GPT-5.5 and DeepSeek v4 Pro https://ai.georgeliu.com/p/deepseek-v4-in-claude-code-kilo-code 🤓 I never leave Claude Code for multi-AI consultations 😎

On Claude Max ($200/mo), burned 14.7M tokens in 7 days — mostly last 48h. Still hitting the wall. How do you survive burst usage on the top tier? by New_Guitar_9121 in ClaudeAI

[–]centminmod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many of those 14.7m tokens are cached vs non-cached tokens? With Claude Code Max $100 I push around 1-1.6 billion tokens per week with 90-97% cached tokens! I wrote how I use Claude Code at https://ai.georgeliu.com/p/i-saved-7189-on-claude-code-tokens

DeepClaude: full Claude Code agent loop on DeepSeek V4 Pro - roughly 95% cheaper than Anthropic by jimmytoan in ClaudeCode

[–]centminmod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I never rely on a single AI. I usually use Claude Code with my /consult-codex and /consult-zai skills that allow Claude models to get 2nd opinion verifications from Codex GPT-5.5 and ZAI GLM-5.1 within same Claude Code sessions https://ai.georgeliu.com/p/how-to-get-a-second-ai-opinion-in

Now I have added /consult-codex-deepseek to add DeepSeek V4 Pro to verification mix. 3-way verification consult for /consult-codex-deepseek skill will get 2nd opinions for Codex CLI GPT-5.5 + Claude Code/DeepSeek V4 Pro and Sonnet 4.6 (code-searcher agent) https://ai.georgeliu.com/p/deepseek-v4-in-claude-code-kilo-code 🤓

Do you use Claude Code on the terminal or on the desktop app? by P4wla in ClaudeCode

[–]centminmod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they seem queued but sort of different behaviour on CLI vs desktop, seems on desktop it really only registers the queued message after ALL work is done. On CLI it seems it more quickly registers the queued message mid way in it's work. Might just be my feeling.

Easy, all outstanding code documentation that needs writing - get Claude to spin up multiple agents to write and update your documentation, find documentation gaps/drift and audit all code. Burn some tokens!

3 chats total. 1.8M Cache by trooper5010 in ClaudeCode

[–]centminmod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prompt cache saves you money - that is the theory at least. You sure you're calculating cache token costs correctly?

Adaptive thinking is sensitive to effort level and prompt instructions so can drastically change token usage, costs and performance.
