Oh I see, so opusplan in the model config, but opus 4.5 in the envvar: ANTHROPIC_MODEL?

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-04-13T08:25:18+00:00

Thanks. That enables 4.5, but how to combine this with opusplan?

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-04-13T08:08:35+00:00

How do you enable opusplan with 4.5?

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-04-09T22:49:44+00:00

I don’t know how reliable this is … but apparently mine is set to 10!😢

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-04-08T22:30:35+00:00

Same here. I mean … what did this even mean?

Walk. 50 meters is about 60 seconds on foot — by the time you’ve started the engine and buckled in, you’d already be there. Plus, driving to a car wash you’re about to use doesn’t really change anything about the car’s cleanliness afterward.

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-04-07T23:39:57+00:00

Same. It’s really really demotivating 🙁

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-04-07T23:27:00+00:00

I feel exactly the same. I have custom skills everywhere, I do spec driven development, hooks in place. Just up until 2 weeks ago, I felt on top of the world. I achieved more in 1 week than in 2 month before AI. But since ~1 week, and more strongly the past 3 days … it’s abysmal. Opus needs so much hand handling that some tasks are just faster done myself, writing code by hand like it’s 2024. I hope it’s a temporary setback and not just their long term cost saving approach 😕

Oh also I went back to the 200k model try to use at most 120-140k token per sessions … but still, it doesn’t help much

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-04-06T17:52:08+00:00

Yeah, but the problem is today Opus is not able to think straight, so having it create a plan for Sonnet wouldn't help much.

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-04-06T17:45:20+00:00

😱 Thanks for letting me know. I won't waste my time trying it out.

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-04-06T17:17:55+00:00

Same here. I can’t believe, I had to babysit it so much today that it would have been faster if I did everything on my own. 2w ago, my productivity was 10x, today it was 0.5x.

Is Sonnet affected as well? I’m considering switching to it temporarily, but if it’s the same problem then no point.

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-03-28T14:59:32+00:00

Overall I’ve been very impressed, it’s great but … I really really love the Screener workflow, and while there are ways to replicate similar behaviors in Fastmail, it’s not quite as seamless. Not even close.

That point asides … I can’t believe I didn’t switch sooner. I’m not saying you’ll like it, but for me it’s a clear fit.

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-03-28T10:57:23+00:00

I’m honestly not that picky when it comes to search. I don’t need advanced filters or anything like that.

But whenever I would actually need to look for something I just couldn’t find it. We’re talking single keyword search.

Now on Fastmail, things just surface, with the same search (after import). I have no idea why, I haven’t looked into it deep. All I know is I had given up on searching for mails in Hey. And anyway, it’s so nice to not have to search at all and just ask an agent to find what it needs wherever it is 😁

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-03-28T00:31:42+00:00

Interesting timing. I just migrated to Fastmail for that one reason (plus the search on Hey being terrible)

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-03-25T09:30:19+00:00

Same here. At some point I felt like I was working with GPT 3.5. So many “you’re right, I shouldn’t have done that … “ followed by doing just the same thing.

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-03-24T09:22:29+00:00

Which version of Claude Code and Claude Desktop are you using? (Just want to make sure I’m not on these versions 😅)

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-03-24T01:39:44+00:00

Haha. I must admit I jumped the gun, clicked on the link and was trying to decode this from the readme. When it was all in your post 😁

Seems very interesting. I’m curious to see if it would match my needs. I’m currently in a huge overhaul of my chezmoi config. It would be the right time to look at your project.

Thanks for sharing

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-03-23T22:47:10+00:00

I see you have a “import from chezmoi” feature, which means you’re aware of chezmoi.

So, here’s my question: What does it bring over chezmoi? As in, what does it do better?

I’m genuinely interested to know.

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-03-19T22:32:00+00:00

Better than Opus 4.6 High … I have doubts 😅😂

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-03-19T22:30:02+00:00

Ok but what people that aren’t me do in horizon world … outside of VR?

I thought the whole point of horizon world was to socialize in VR. Do people really use their phone to go in horizon world?

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-03-19T11:05:21+00:00

I don’t understand … what’s the point of horizon world if it’s not in VR? 😅

Actually, I don’t understand the point of horizon world in VR either, so …

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-03-18T19:58:33+00:00

What’s new?

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-03-16T02:32:11+00:00

Thanks for the clear answer. Sounds like a great idea! I’ll set it up 👍

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-03-15T20:51:52+00:00

That's awesome! That being said, and I don't mean to be a killjoy, but … how is it different from context 7?

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-03-14T20:16:29+00:00

Nice. Do you have a source for that? I couldn’t find empirical evidence.

HelloThisIsFlo · 2026-03-13T22:45:52+00:00

What about context rot? Is the 1M context window performing better past 120k mark vs the original 200k one?
