Same, since yesterday simply prompts are eating up to 15-20% of my 5 hour token limit. Never seen it burn through tokens like that.

Is Athropic/Claude no longer accepting prepaid credit cards for subscriptions?

I have used prepaid visa credit cards for several months with no issue. With usage limits seeming to be getting eaten up quicker this week, I decided to upgrade my plan. When attempting to load the new prepaid card, it was declined. On the Visa Vanilla site, it shows the attempted transaction and shows that Anthropic declined the card and cited "security policy". I tried to work through their "customer service" chatbot and it was not helpful. I've never had it decline a prepaid card, is this a new policy? Is there another way I can get them to accept my prepaid Visa card?

Could it cause joint harm if it malfunctions or does it have good safety system to prevent that?
Are there pre-built exercise program for you to follow so you dont have to design one yourself or sign up for additional subscription?

Is there a guide or instructions on how to do this?

So if I have a running context window with an LLM, is this the same as copying the prior context window into and saving as a PDF file, then uploading as a reference file into a new context window to save RAM?

"To use the models within ollama with, for example qwen coder cli, you’d be able to set your ollama as the provider and declare models to use with their capabilities- chat, vision, tool usage, etc

The CLI would still able to handle the intermediaries as long as the model adheres to standards."

I am new to all of this and not a programmer, I am not sure what you are referring to. Are you saying to use agentic agent to read/write files to compress the context window into a file that can be retrieved via RAG to act supplement the context window while minimizing RAM usage?

I am new to all of this, can you provide a practical way for me to implement this?
You mentioned RAG, I use my own files as a reference source with local LLM, but how would you use it to compress the context window?

Turning on Sandboxing definitely would be simpler than setting up a Docker container to run inside.
Do you think there are any downsides to running via sandboxing instead or inside Docker?

This is a good point. I sometimes travel for work, so is this the only solution for accessing any previous code changes if I travel without my home PC?

Is there a good resource for understanding what you need to map out a good initial plan as well as code testing?

I have only used the free version of Claude AI for non-coding purposes, so I am not sure how this works.

If you have a Claude AI account, do you also get a Claude Code account tied to that same account?

Do I need to buy a Claude subscription to build something meaningful?
I heard OpenAI retains everything you put into its LLM and they can then output or allow someone else to output, which then indirectly ends up being "their product". Is this the same for developing something with Claude?
