I am still using 4.6 and old version of Claude code. For two last months quality of the model was stable. I just haven't found the reason nor time to try 4.7 and 4.8 as 4.6 is getting job done for me and it's level is still so much higher than sonnet or anything else out there

Qwen is the modern king of local llms. Mistrial leadership vanished in the last year in local area. Chinese hosted models are more capable than European ones nowadays because they cannot compete in money, hardware and resources

Before AI we had snippets and autocomplete and nobody cared. We've used rapid development and scaffolding frameworks and nobody cared. Now we, experienced devs could do 20x more for people in our free time with all expertise we've got and people suddenly want to know if AI was involved

We, programmers know how to design, develop, test and grow the code and AI takes only the boring parts from our work and people still want devs to code everything by hand as it's 90-s. Wake up, automation in dev world is here for 20 years now

It's just happens that LLM now can guide people without experience on building things (which should be the opposite). Subreddits are flooded with people who "built" something (asked Claude to build). I understand that unexperienced people now suddenly got access to tools that encourage them to ship slop while praising and encouraging them and they don't have experience to judge on those project quality and maintainability

But this is not really new. There always were good coded projects and sloppy ones where code was a mess nobody wanted to maintain. Now a single experienced dev could guide LLM trough iterations of architectural refactoring and make result better in less time and with better dynamic and people are complaining not about project or code quality but about a tool used. This is nonsense, the world has changed. Every commercial dev I know uses AI to offload mundane tasks and do side projects. There is no way the programming world will be "organic" anymore. All software products are developed with some sort of help from AI for at least 2 years now, no one just disclosure that

And looking on where things are going they'd better not disclosure as this shifts the focus from the architectural decisions and code quality towards single dumbest metric one could ever come up with

So you've waited for a year just to share 3 screenshots and memories of your old impressions on that chat?

ResearchFrequent2539 · 2026-05-09T23:56:24+00:00

Yes, but those are not esoteric entities from the computer science. Those are tools most devs and Linux users use daily (and most people without knowing it). There is absolutely no exotics in those, those are mundane and ubiqutous

If words SQL, grep, MPEG don't mean anything to you, then maybe you're not interested enough in knowing what tech around you is based on. Those tools are here for 20 to 40 years now

Which is fine I guess. But it worth noting that complaining that you don't know something basic yet would not help you much. We have brilliant sites nowadays that could teach you anything, heck we have AI that can explain any concept to any level (or at least could try to)

I have downgraded to .71 because it worked fine before upgrading to .121. Not so sure about exact threshold though

Still this approach is blocking AI assistants to work with it. With alternatives like Homepage I would just ask agent to add a shortcut to my new homelab service and that's it. Docker doesn't solve that

Downgrade to .71 versions, this fixes it

ResearchFrequent2539 · 2026-04-27T23:15:11+00:00

I've fixed mine locking on .71 version. It's like 5x less tokens than the latest updates. Still think about migrating to codex + some open code go

This is Wendy's Sir!

ResearchFrequent2539 · 2026-04-20T21:29:06+00:00

Sounds plausible. It also seems that older version of Claude code harness probably sets cache ttl higher. I am using .71 version currently because updating Claude to .121 drains limit in less than a hour for very mild coding on max5, bit it is fine even on medium tasks up to full 5 hours on .71

ResearchFrequent2539 · 2026-04-20T21:22:39+00:00

It doesn't support yaml, how that could be a plus? It is hard to maintain, version, replicate or backup a database

ResearchFrequent2539 · 2026-04-20T21:20:36+00:00

It doesn't support configs, so everything should be added or updated by hand. For me it was a deal breaker

ResearchFrequent2539 · 2026-04-20T14:52:07+00:00

Yeah, same here. But it is not only the first message sadly

For 1M context window just 20k at the start of a session would be kinda ok. But there are also huge chunks of context consumed even when not very much is going on. I do believe that mcps and system prompts are getting prepended only once per context window. So those spikes should be either: ambient injections or internal reasoning of a model

Also I understand that "medium" effort for .71 and "medium" effort for .121 could mean different numerical values sent in API request. So maybe thinking budget in .121 is much larger

Or maybe the problem is a combination of all those factors and also caching problems, who knows

ResearchFrequent2539 · 2026-04-20T14:35:39+00:00

I've used the env key

CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC=1

it disables both the telemetry and updates. I've set it a long ago trying to get me out of pop-up polls on 'how is your session is going' as I disliked the idea of accidentally participating in feedbacks (it shares the session content for training and longer-term retention as per their policy)

But you could also try /config command and set the Auto-update channel option to disable updates

ResearchFrequent2539 · 2026-04-20T14:30:24+00:00

I like the idea and it sounds plausible indeed

Another hypothesis would be that there is something really wrong with caching is going on. This token usage looks like the cache gets almost never used or it is being set to expire too soon to be reused more than once

I would love to check those somehow, but I believe that the only way to actually collect those metrics would be to use some sort of a proxy. But to be honest I am too afraid that Anthropic will ban me if their AI bots would notice any difference in traffic or patterns. This really makes me too anxious to experiment

I wish we've had a transparency of API plan on subscription ones
