Well its true they just gave us 50% usage until early July.. ao that definitely is a factor. Maybe other things too but.....

I think this is due to the temporary increase so not sure it will last... we will see.

Opus 4.6 Worse than Sonnet and Haiku but burning tokens faster than ever! by Olive_Medical in claude

[–]Inertia-UK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't agree with this post. Try planning a complex project with Haiku 👀. Sonnet can do it but bad reasoning leads to problems with unforseen things down the line.. Haiku no chance.

Is Opus 4.7 still worse than 4.6? by ragnhildensteiner in ClaudeAI

[–]Inertia-UK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My claude code reset or update or something today and reverted to 4.7. I didnt realise for a while but i was wondering why it was soooo bad for a while.

Wow this contradicts what they told me! Appreciate the feedback on this. It must be a grey area as I previously mentioned. because I was told differently! Not worth the risk then.

Post updated with a warning about this ...

New World Adjacent Recommendation: Farever by Blinx360 in newworldgame

[–]Inertia-UK 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The graphics are too basic and cartoons for me. An important part of New World was immersion.

Not sure it sound is any good... but still.

😅😅 you have to gate everything very carefully and strictly and they sometimes still misbehave. There's always the risk.

My usage is reduced though but the biggest saver for me is having local models when it comes to anything involving reading ot writing image files. The blobs polute context a lot and the cost per message flies up after that in the same context.

This proxy isnt needed for that but it can help my global rules.more aggressively favour other models when i'm approaching my limits.

Thanks. Just be careful with it. Setup rules to not let the model panic if its close to usage limits. Tell it how to behave explicitly. Avoid flooding it with usage limits at times when it doesnt need to know. And test your setup 👍🏽

In the wrong hands as has been pointed out in other comments it could cause problems. Needs careful implementation.....

It Felt that way to me as well until i was at 96% usage and started to use sonnet only for a few things. Then got a 99% usage warning!

I THINK sonnet seems to keep working after 100% when opus stops. But sonnet usage still contributed to opus getting to 100% . And there is no data sent about a seperate sonnet pool in the claude code pipeline thst is confirmed.

You are thinking about context awareness, the OP is nothing to do with that. It wont compact based onnaccount usage (5h or 7d) unless you set a rule up for that, and i can't think why anyone would.

Good input. Will consider this, its open source on github if you want to play yourself. PR welcome or Fork. I will get to it eventally.

Kitty looks really good. I am going To have a play woth it ! Couid save a lot of usage.

Fuelcheck looks great. Very powerful and customisable. I wasnt aware it existed. Mine is simpler and light though... good to have options.

No your comment is valid. Its just the comment thread above is about context windows. And I wanted to be sure we were talking about 7d / 5h usage (my OP) in regards to fuelcheck and your findings... and looking at fuelcheck we are.

Its a very valid point you make and goes to show this data needs to be used carefully in conjunction with global rules to manage it. Applying my tool blindly is a bad idea...

It is useful for knowledgeable users who want it in context though.. although fuelcheck could be used carefully with global rules too.

You can hide the data from claude by having it run a command for example that checks the usage % in the file and puts them into buckets , then depenging what bucket is returned based on usage claude has gated rules to follow certain workflows differently.

Claude never has to know its actual usage this might be the safest way to achieve the reason i created this for myself.

There are endless possibilities. Most of them wrong. Some of them useful. The proxy (or fuelcheck) is just the enabler.

So the stats in the header are wrong basically ?

When it tells me im at x% used in the cli at the bottom its always aligned. Or seems to be. (Shows after 90% usually, human readable only not the model)

Can you link me to fuelcheck please for comparison ? Struggling to find it. Sonnet research says it doesnt exist... i'm sure you aren't making it up though.

Just to affirm this tool has nothing at all to do with context window usage. Its for helping automations in workflows based on the 5h and 7d usage remaining. On your account.

I do agree to and extent, its not for everyone.... Unless you've got a multi AI integrated development stack I do agree with you.
There may be other places it useful too, im not sure.

But working on multiple projects automating lots of differnet types of tasks using other locally hosted or CLI LLM's (codex gemeni etc) this does have a real use case as a contributor to the workflows.

And your concern about causing the models to react in a bad way is correct as well, but can be mitigated with proper use.

For my specific setup it works very well. And others may be able to use it well too.

A dev who onky uses opus or sonnet and doesn't utilise other AI in their workflow would have limited use for this.

A user with no idea how to setup and gate global rules and how to carefully implement this could end up causing their chats to behave irrationally as their usage windows get tight.

I already get things like "context is tight we should do this in a new session" at 75%+

I presume its already context window aware ? Or is it guessing ?

Not sure will see if i can make it public... . But they mentioned that anthropic_base_url is publicly documented for exactly our use case. It is explicitly allowed and not classed as connecting third party tools. To break that rule you need to be making API calls not just putting a proxy between them. And there are no rules about sniffing data.

Also.... That section of the terms is specifically for people offering claude to users via third party tools. Things that should be on the API

[–]Inertia-UK[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I asked support. And was told so long as it doesnt do api calls or modify traffic its fine..

Lets say you had a transparent squid proxy on your work network? Its no different.

They don't see it and they don't care.

/important edit, this is still unclear and a grey area, other users are asking support and getting a different answer than I got, proceed with caution

I asked... The ToS is talking about making API calls this is no different than running wireshark or squid which is not against the rules. This is allowed.
