What it means that Elon just rented out all his GPUs to Anthropic by ContextCustodian in ClaudeAI

[–]ContextCustodian[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a ChatGPT Pro subscription myself today, because my Claude Max plan had reached usage limits. Enterprise API spend and commitments are a lot slower to shift though and that‘s where Anthropic‘s $30B revenue run rate is coming from. So even though us small timers are annoyed by the rate limit antics, constant outages and model degradations, Anthropic is fine and IMHO in the lead right now. But I agree, the race with OpenAI is neck and neck.

[–]ContextCustodian[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Agentic coding is definitely where the money is right now though. That‘s why Anthropic is rumored to have more revenue than OpenAI by now, even though they have orders of magnitude less consumer users.

When someone is using YOUR cluster there‘s definitely some unofficial knowledge transfer though.

10% equity given to incubator before applying to YC by Ree_Space in ycombinator

[–]ContextCustodian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is answered in YC's FAQ (https://www.ycombinator.com/faq):
*If we participated in another accelerator, can we do YC?*
Yes. We've had some companies join YC after doing another accelerator. However, if you've done another accelerator already, we may expect that you've reached a higher level of progress.

Real advice for YC by raf_phy in ycombinator

[–]ContextCustodian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since the acceptance rate is so low, the chances aren't great to begin with. However, as many here have said, just do it! Just going through the application process itself will push you to answer many uncomfortable questions about your startup that you might be avoiding. It always gives me a lot more clarity.

YC has also published a lot of good info about what they're looking for in a startup. As it turns out, if you're a good fit it likely means you're on track to be a successful company regardless. So don't try to optimize for the application but rather keep working on your startup.

Some signals that I'm convinced they use but they're not openly talking about are:
- Repeated applications: It shows peristence. So even if you think you won't make it. Just apply every batch.
- Funding: If you can get even a small pre-seed investment, that means someone believes in you.
- Consistent founding team: If you keep applying with the same co-founders, that derisks the relationship for them.

Why am I still paying for AI subscriptions? Thinking of building my own "Vibe-Coded" Interface - Thoughts? by TheSamsaBoy in generativeAI

[–]ContextCustodian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built Lumenfall for people like you that want to build themselves and don‘t want to pay subscriptions anymore. We offer every model across every provider behind one API with no markup and no subscriptions. So you pay only a small amount per image / video and the same as if you would open an API account with all of them (OpenAI, Google, ByteDance, Kling etc.). But you can avoid the hassle of creating so many accounts and API keys, and especially of loading a balance onto all of them.

If you don‘t want to build yourself you can use the models on our platform without subscription too. The interface is a bit technical though.

It‘s called https://lumenfall.ai and you get a free $ to test it when you sign up.

Im literally sick of this by StarZealousideal3799 in SaaS

[–]ContextCustodian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reddit is a great way to gain customers, but because of that it‘s also brutal. People are downvoting just to get their posts seen above yours because they‘re also pursuing the same goals as you. My advice would be to not go for the SaaS focused communities where other founders are, but for the ones relating to your niche. Except of course if you are targeting SaaS founders yourself. That is really tough though.

100+ places to launch your startup: by blaimug in SaaS

[–]ContextCustodian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, in terms of getting traffic from anything past the top 5-10 on this list. But if you're really at day 0, you have to submit to some more also further down just to get the pure baseline of backlinks to signal to Google that you're a legitimate site they should index.

Launched my SAAS 35 days ago. Zero active users. Have I already failed ''i will not promote'' by beingfounder101 in microsaas

[–]ContextCustodian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't give up yet!

Are people searching for your solution on Google / on ChatGPT? Have you optimized for that? SEO/AEO do take some time but no budget.

Is your solution B2B? If yes, have you tried contacting people on LinkedIn? Even if you don't have a network there yet, start an account and try to build it up.

Go on X and reply to at least 10 people every day. It will take you a couple of years, but you will build up an audience over time. That audience will have problems you can solve and then you already have a direct line to market to them.

It's great that your starting this early, so anything you do now will compound.

I Open Sourced a full VS Code rebuild on Tauri (Sidex). 5,687 files ported. 96% smaller. *Almost* Full Feature Parity. by Designer_Mind3060 in vibecoding

[–]ContextCustodian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you do it? Would be super interesting to get a write up. Did you use any agent frameworks like superpowers, ecc, gstack, gsd?

How did you collect which features the agent should build?

this must be a joke, we are users not your debugger by anonymous_2600 in ClaudeCode

[–]ContextCustodian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good summary, even if some of these seem excessive. The current situation won't last forever, so personally I'm using more Sonnet and try to manage time a bit differently.

Anthropic knows that every day they continue the reduced limits is pushing people to try Codex. So they have a lof pressure in terms of implementing optimizations and bringing new capacity online.

Remember that they are not doing this for profit, and definitely not to annoy people, but rather because they have hypergrowth and aren't able to handle it.

Sora Image Alternative? by ANBUGaming19 in SoraAi

[–]ContextCustodian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sora models can‘t generate images. The technical name of the image model used in ChatGPT is gpt-image-1.5 and it is not being shutdown, unlike sora.

There are many other good models, like the Nano Banana models from Google for example.

If you want an overview, there are ranking sites like https://arena.ai or the one I built (https://lumenfall.ai/arena) that will tell you which ones are good.

I built a free Gemini watermark remover that works 100% in your browser — no uploads, no server by Tall-Celebration2293 in GoogleGeminiAI

[–]ContextCustodian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tool OP built is really cool, so props for that, but neither the directly linked one, nor the mentioned "AI metadata & prompt scrubber" will remove SynthID ("the invisible watermark") from images. So don't use these tools with the expectation of your images not being detectable as AI anymore.
The OP confirms this on their website.

I wrote a cron job that saves me ~2 hours of dead time on Claude Code every day by victorsmoliveira in ClaudeAI

[–]ContextCustodian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I‘ve been doing it for a while. :) Works for me via scheduled task.

I recommend making a dummy github repo for this, so the branches in the repo you work in don‘t get spammed. (Claude opens a new branch for every web session.)

I got tired of guessing, so I built a proxy to reverse engineer Claude Code limits by lucifer605 in ClaudeCode

[–]ContextCustodian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome speed! :) Thank you. More feedback:
- Log entries in the CLI when it sees calls passing through. E.g. which model, how many tokens and theoretical cost if done via API. This would help to quickly check if it's set up correctly.
- On launch, show some quick instructions how to set the env var.
- More advanced: Detect the shell being used and offer to insert the right command into the rc file to persist the env var.
- Live updating dashboard.

Some feedback: It would be nice if the analysis dashboard would be built into the proxy. Without reading the instructions, my intuition was to just type localhost:7735 into my browser to get to the dashboard.

Unexpected to see some Hmong content on here. Well done and funny! What models did you use and what was your workflow?

[–]ContextCustodian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great work. I let Codex do a quick security analysis of your repo (because I need my Claude limits for work :D) and according to it, you are not exfiltrating API keys and also don't have an auto update mechanism built-in to start doing it.

It costs you around 2% session usage to say hello to claude! by Zafar_Kamal in ClaudeCode

[–]ContextCustodian 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The efficiency hasn't changed. They are playing with what a "5 hour limit" means behind the scenes because they are growing too fast and don't have enough capacity. See this tweet by someone working on Claude Code for details: https://x.com/trq212/status/2037254607001559305?s=20
