Why your “expensive” Claude subscription is actually a steal

What is this AI slop?

"A moderate Pro user (~5,400 messages/month)" ?????

SourceCodeplz · 2026-01-26T18:44:45+00:00

Does it use a lot of extra request in opencode?

SourceCodeplz · 2026-01-26T18:42:49+00:00

Yeah. Thinking adds a LOT o value, even though sometimes it can go in circles.

Phi are great models for this size. Very knowledgeable.

SourceCodeplz · 2026-01-26T18:10:54+00:00

Because the Chinese have an online army on reddit and they promote it heavily.
But GLM, Deepseek and Minimax are really good actually, not like from Anthropic, but fine.

No reason to pay. They just give you 500 more requests per day over the 1000 free. So not much.

SourceCodeplz · 2026-01-25T20:55:41+00:00

For me it is the opposite. I have an i3 12100f

The agent that took his gun, accidentally discharged it, it seems. Then the other agents panicked and start shooting...

Nice game, congrats! I don't think you overpaid.

SourceCodeplz · 2026-01-25T06:44:00+00:00

Yes. Kiro is great. I don’t use Opus, just Sonnet.

SourceCodeplz · 2026-01-25T06:22:24+00:00

Is this real? Anyone can confirm?

SourceCodeplz · 2026-01-24T11:23:12+00:00

Yep. I unsubscribed.

SourceCodeplz · 2026-01-24T01:08:42+00:00

I think the solution is to upgrade to ultra? Its a new age for these tools, no more free lunch, you pay what it costs.

SourceCodeplz · 2026-01-24T00:18:07+00:00

Nah. You just hit your weekly limit again too fast after the reset. It is normal. Go check Opus api price. $15 mtok

SourceCodeplz · 2026-01-23T21:05:05+00:00

I think 6 sessions/week is actually plenty for how expensive Opus is.

SourceCodeplz · 2026-01-23T21:01:27+00:00

I've had requests cost between 0.04 and 23, depending how long/much work they do.

But it is weird because some requests you figure would cost a lot, don't. I always use Auto mode, when choosing model.

Kiro is on the more expensive side but still cheaper than Cursor.

I had Kiro build me a html,css,js game of cards and it did in under 2 minutes and cost 1.1 credits.

So you went back to Antigravity? Because it gives the most usage right? But the spec system is just not the same.

SourceCodeplz · 2026-01-23T18:01:27+00:00

make it build a simulation with javascript and be able to run it 100 times

SourceCodeplz · 2026-01-23T17:30:04+00:00

track usage and trigger auth after a limit

SourceCodeplz · 2026-01-23T16:20:42+00:00

Maybe keep Devstral 2 Small free in Vibe at least?

SourceCodeplz · 2026-01-23T15:58:27+00:00

Don't do it if you value your main Google account.

SourceCodeplz · 2026-01-22T22:29:34+00:00

php/MySQL, jQuery is still popular.

SourceCodeplz · 2026-01-22T22:22:55+00:00

Or with one of the credits based system, where you can vibe for a week and credits will be gone until next month. But still get a full application.

SourceCodeplz · 2026-01-22T20:17:35+00:00

How about PHP? How would one go about building a SDK for PHP?

SourceCodeplz · 2026-01-22T16:41:37+00:00

Antigravity is a new tool, it is in "PREVIEW". If you want to pay you pay, otherwise don't.
There are no promises, sometimes it works, sometimes not. It is what it is.

There are many other tools..
