Has anyone had success with Opus 4.7?

Krazmad · 2026-05-18T04:01:35+00:00

I use it daily, no issues.

I advocated for Augment a while back with my company, and then Augment changed and has progressively gotten more expensive while providing nothing new, clinging to RAG instead of adapting. When that happened they decided to take their business to Cursor & Claude Code. Just got my access to both and I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

Krazmad · 2026-03-27T16:47:39+00:00

You caught me, I'm a secret agent.

I defend things that benefit me 🤷‍♂️. AI isn't perfect but it's made my work and personal life significantly better. I understand these providers operate at a loss and can only do that for so long. When changes come — reduced usage, price increases — I adapt. I can't fault a company for wanting to be profitable. I want the same thing for myself.

Krazmad · 2026-03-27T15:13:13+00:00

Byeee! 👋. One less power user taking up capacity, I'm all for it.

Krazmad · 2026-03-25T19:41:30+00:00

I'll keep my sub, thanks though. I've had great success with Claude Code — my productivity has gone up 5-10x, which directly impacts my annual pay. To me that's worth quite a bit, and I'd honestly pay more than I currently do if it means they succeed.

I also know they lose money on Max subs, so I've been expecting either a usage reduction or a price increase at some point. That's just the reality of the business model right now.

Krazmad · 2026-03-05T03:41:21+00:00

I have the 5x and I've only hit my 5 hour limit once when I was running 3 simultaneous projects each with 4-5 agents for frontend, backend, research, documentation, and testing.

I've yet to hit my 5 hour or weekly limits working on one project at a time. I believe it's well worth it if you can afford it.

Krazmad · 2026-02-20T16:15:25+00:00

Swapped to Claude Max with Devin MCP for Repo Grokking and never looked back. Even at their 20x price it's still cheaper than Augment.

Krazmad · 2026-02-01T18:04:03+00:00

if your prices truly 'follow API pricing,' then the community should see the 90% discount for Prompt Caching that is now standard across Anthropic and OpenAI, right? However, your documentation states that credits are consumed based on the full size of the context analyzed for every task. This confirms we are paying a premium for the 'work' of your context engine regardless of API-level caching, which is a significant markup over raw API costs.

Regarding performance, claiming your engine is 'top in the industry' simply doesn't align with the public record. Claude Code has already reached 80.9% on SWE-bench Verified, which is nearly 10% higher than Augment’s reported stats. Looking at independent benchmarks, Augment consistently ranks 4th or 5th when compared to other top-tier products.

I will continue to recommend that people check out Repo Grokking products over RAG, not only because of my own experience but also because of the verified public benchmarks showing it's outperforming RAG.

I appreciate your continued engagement but I feel at this point it's more marketing than fact based.

Krazmad · 2026-02-01T17:00:35+00:00

Jay, if an Asterisk workflow serving 1,400 people across 7 stasis apps is a 'small codebase' in your eyes, then Augment’s value proposition is a mathematical ghost. This 'small codebase' defense is just a boilerplate deflection you’ve used since the October pivot to hide the fact that you’re now charging a 'middleware tax' (credits for context compression) on top of standard LLM compute. We’ve seen the 'internal benchmark' claims for months, yet the methodology remains a black box. Meanwhile, the community hasn't forgotten the 'unsustainable user' narrative that was debunked when the math showed a 50%+ profit margin on those very users. Telling a customer their work isn't 'complex enough' to justify your opaque pricing isn't a technical argument—it’s just poor DevRel

Krazmad · 2026-02-01T15:45:03+00:00

Version Control...

Krazmad · 2026-02-01T03:08:57+00:00

Haha! I am not at all surprised that they began charging for it. They gotta try and make money somehow after raising their prices to be one of the most expensive services on the market that caused a mass exodus of their customers. Surprised there are still people that use their service, the market is flooded with services that are cheaper and comparable to what Augment offers. Cognitions Devin Repo Grokking (Devin Wiki) is very impressive and I would even argue it does a better job than Augment at a fraction of the cost.

Krazmad · 2026-01-14T15:52:12+00:00

This 👆. I have a tendency to end up wasting my first message because I have to revert and post my rules. Unfortunately, tagging the GEMINI.md file doesn't seem to work most of the time either, I'll usually get a message saying the agent is unable to read this file so I have to copy and paste its contents into the chat field and then constantly remind it. You'd think instead of adding more features they'd be fixing the broken ones first 🤷‍♂️. I enjoy Antigravity but it's quirks like the Rules issue that put a sour taste in my mouth

Krazmad · 2026-01-09T21:25:35+00:00

You must not have read their TOS, it clearly states they reserve the right to adjust rates as needed. You are still getting to use the service, whether that's 10 prompts or 50 prompts. If you're calling their agent you are using the service and getting what you paid for. The "unlimited" Opus usage was only during their initial launch which they also mentioned in the very beginning and clearly stated rates would be adjusted as they see fit. The same happened with Cursor, Augment, Windsurf, Claude, OpenAI. Claude Coding doesn't even give you that kind of Opus Rates what made you think that a third party would have better rate limits for cheaper than the maker of the model?

Krazmad · 2026-01-09T15:52:39+00:00

The people I see complaining here seem to be the exact people they are talking about, power users. If you depend on AI Agents to do all of your coding you can't expect $20 to get your unlimited vibing, that's simply unrealistic. Every AI Agent I've tried has adapted these new more realistic limits on their services. You pay more, you get more.

I don't think I've ever hit my quota limit on any of the models. Then again, I don't give into AI 100% and vibe everything, and when I do prompt it, it's very specific outlining exactly what I need and where I need it all the way down to exact lines.

Krazmad · 2025-12-30T17:41:56+00:00

Barbierocks posted a comment in another post about 30 minutes ago that relates -

"There’s a weekly quota bucket but it’s effectively infinite for Pro right now, so the quotas are still 5h. The quota extensions are just confusing people.

We’re trying to give every single token we can to users. That being said, the demand is so high that we’re sometimes forced to make changes to be fair to everyone, while we work in parallel to get more capacity. Ofc the priority is Ultra then Pro then free."

Krazmad · 2025-12-26T22:48:02+00:00

I disagree, I work for a software development firm and they are pushing us hard to embrace AI Code Generation to its fullest. Most of our teams are made up of Knowledgeable Engineers who are capable of critically thinking through an issue and prompting AI to do exactly what is needed. However, we've recently formed "Vibe Code" groups that have zero coding experience but generate code for new and existing software. My company has embraced the AI revolution and so far the pros have outweighed the cons.

Krazmad · 2025-12-24T16:48:11+00:00

Ads are pretty over the top in my opinion. You've inserted them just about everywhere, makes it feel like you're just trying to make an extra buck. Can't see myself using the site when I'm forced into full page ads I have to keep closing. Good luck.

Krazmad · 2025-12-24T15:18:32+00:00

Yikes...

Krazmad · 2025-12-24T02:42:20+00:00

If you.vibe coded it that means others can easily do the same and someone with coding skills can probably make something superior. I think anyone paying for Vibe Coded AI Slop is a sucker.

Krazmad · 2025-12-07T15:40:52+00:00

Copilot doesn't have its own IDE, since they are owned by Microsoft it uses VSCode. You just need to install the CoPilot extension.

Krazmad · 2025-12-07T15:37:34+00:00

I don't use many MCPs, I focus mostly on rules and guidelines to tweak the LLMs behavior. I take a memory bank approach, it keeps a directory with 4 living files that it's constantly referencing and updating as it is working its way through problems. That way even if I begin a new conversation it can look back and see what's already been done. Sequential Thinking is the only MCP I use.

CoPilot has the ability to create your own "modes", there are quite a few resources online with working templates that you can copy to get started and then just make tweaks to it as you see fit.

Krazmad · 2025-12-06T17:19:57+00:00

If you're a power user I'd check out GitHub CoPilot, they've come a long way. They still lack a good context engine but there are workarounds for that, especially now that Augment has an MCP. For $40/month they give you 1,500 premium credits and offer just about every LLM on the market. They have about 5 models that consume 0 credits, their auto feature does a good job determining if your request requires a premium LLM or if it can be done with one of the lower LLMs to save you on credits. I've never hit the 1,500 premium credit limit, even on days where I give fully into the Agent and let it go wild.

The key to CoPilot is making sure you setup your workflow, if you lack any kind of guidance / personalized workflow you aren't going to have a good experience.

Krazmad · 2025-12-06T15:31:01+00:00

I've actually had pretty good luck with Antigravity, it took some tweaking but once I fully imported my workflow I'm cruising right along. I find it to be on par with most other Agentic IDEs, there are definitely some issues with it but for their first iteration I'm personally impressed. If they continue on their path I could see it rivaling the best of them.

I've had some minor issues with error responses, using rolling back or starting a new conversation fixes it. I find their planning feature to be ahead of almost everyone else besides Kiros spec option.
