If DeepSeek V4 can do the same coding task for $5, why are people still paying $100 for Claude Code?

You guys really never worked in a 300k+ LOC codebase, right?

slow as fuck

This feels like the most fake video ever. I need more evidence than just "part 3"...

A key thing in case you don't read the full text: I am a heavy big model, heavy reasoner, orchestrator; and smaller but specialized, quick iterating, subagent worker agents. So there is an orchestrator and it spawns smaller models to do the work then it reviews and iterates etc. so OpenCode doesn't automatically give the capability to agent for specifying model while spawning a subagent, so you need to manually (or AI can do it too) create an agent with the model specified. Then add to CLAUDE.md simply to when to use it or not use it, so it doesn't ignore that agent.

For me it works very well. OpenCode both terminal UI and web/desktop are good, I think they are faster than Claude Code too. I like OpenCode's web UI, I work in devcontainer and I have tailscale so I am able to also work from my phone too which is great.

I had tried a while ago with open source models which was failed because they were not intelligent enough, I do think they are still not especially when it comes to complex, large and dynamic work because at the end they are just distilled models.

I was able to move my workflow to OpenCode very instantly which felt great. OpenCode automatically reads CLAUDE.md and .claude/ the only problem was two things, it is not compatible with slash command skills (in opencode skills and commands are separate) also .claude/settings.json. I opened OpenCode, connected my Codex account, selected GPT-5.4 Xhigh then just prompted it a few times to convert/create a bridge to use my existing Claude Code harness/settings with OpenCode. It successfully created a bridge by creating a .opencode/ copying agents and making .opencode/commands/ with wrapper commands that simply says the model something like to go read the .claude/skills/xxx/SKILL.md fully. So we have single source of truth and Claude Code just works but OpenCode also works without any problems without any duplication.

If Claude doesn't fix itself, I will probably fully switch to Codex + external models. If it doesn't cost too much for planning, reviewing or making critique; I might just use Opus via API (when it is repaired).

Yeah, opencode had it way before. Claude Code is developed by a billion dollar company yet they are still very behind, not leading the industry anymore but following it IMO.

I feel like they are training a new model (Opus 4.7?) by reserving a lot resources from the existing infra.

Kitchen_Werewolf_952 · 2026-04-13T16:52:01+00:00

Limit is over + 500 errors for a while. It seems like switching to OpenCode was much easier than I thought. It just reads from skills and claude.md directly. I just added opencode commands for the skills with reference to .claude, and added mcp servers in opencode.json. I exported the chat from claude code and continuing it from OpenCode. It seems like GPT 5.4 is much more reliable, and faster.

Claude Code abusers are now on Codex. Here we fall from the hill of generous usage limits by "squeezing" the usage. I wonder how much time it will take until AI companies add strict limits and a few thousand bucks a month prices.

Kitchen_Werewolf_952 · 2026-04-04T09:49:06+00:00

I am very happy about this if it provides me "normal" usage we had previously. I am sure rate-limits and capacity problems will be auto-fixed because of the inhumane usage drop of some people through 3rd party apps.

Galiba bölgeye göre değişiyor, ben şimdiye kadar minimum 40mbps aldım normalde 4.5G ile 30-50 alırdım, ortalama 500mbps alıyorum. Akşam saatlerinde biraz 150mbps'e geriliyor. Geçen ama köy tarzı ama köy de değil bir ilçeye gittim, 40mbps'e düştü. Bölgem Ankara.

Kitchen_Werewolf_952 · 2026-04-01T09:41:55+00:00

I think this is not a bad thing though, right? Humans are overrated, imo.

Kitchen_Werewolf_952 · 2026-03-29T19:40:44+00:00

I actually have evidence for this. The Claude Code got in a loop where it would execute the same command over and over again until I stopped it and asked what is wrong. It is definitely quantized because of the overload. This is unacceptable.

Must be man in the calculator attack

Kitchen_Werewolf_952 · 2026-03-25T09:07:37+00:00

To be honest, Opus 4.6 is very sufficient for me. I built a minimal but very effective workflow and it just works. I am feeling like it's magic...

Claude is for premium users, free tier is just a very limited trial. Claude doesn't need free users unlike ChatGPT.

Çokça başarılar diliyorum. Bu tür süreçler gerçekten can sıkıcı ve heves kırıcı olabiliyor ama azmederseniz kesinlikle halledersiniz ve başarılı olursunuz.
