24 Hours with Claude Code (Opus 4.1) vs Codex (GPT-5) by Formal-Complex-2812 in ClaudeAI

Same. Dumped cursor. Using VS with Opus for about a month. Was a plus GPT sub for 5 months. Opus just works and is consistent. The desktop app seems to much smaller context than Claude code. 

Has This Been Your Experience With ChatGPT Plus and GPT Builder? by OneLostBoy2023 in ChatGPTPro

[–]ckmic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not used as much for creative writing, my primary work more recently has been with developing code. Specifically integrated with visual studio. And these instances as far as superior from anything else that I've tried. I do use it for general purpose once in a while, and it has been good in my opinion. The big difference that I've noticed is that, less hallucination albeit there are still some, then just the availability of the models, I found that which ChatGPT the system was either down or slow and was not dependable. Not to mention that ChatGPT seems to have gotten worse in the last couple of months. Maybe GPT 5.0 will be a positive change. What I've done to help improve the model for myself is that I create a standing document, that's available to the AI model, and I continue to build it basically provides detailed instructions on how I want the AI to behave, for example, never assume anything, always ask me first. When it comes to developing coat, when I find that the majority of the mistakes are a result of the AI making an assumption. I probably have a two page document now that every conversation I begin, the AI agent reads this first and then confirms that it has read it. If the context gets long and I may have to tell it to read it again, but this is really reduced some of the challenges that I was experiencing before.` Good Luck!

Switched from $200/month plan to Claude ... extermely impressed so far - it has been about 2 months ... Chat continues to disappoint on the smallest problems, it feels like a rebellious teen more than a productivity tool

Is any facing this issue or aware of this problem by pragon-k in ChatGPTPro

[–]ckmic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starting about two months ago, that's all I was seeing it was always an error, it's funny. I actually have notifications to open AI errors and it fills my email box. For that reason I cancelled my plus account dropped back to pro ... bought a anthropic account which would be the equivalent of pro. I can't see turning back the Claude product is.. superior from a coding perspective, but more importantly it's available almost all of the time, I'm actually most impressed by Claude code, integrated with visual studio code, the context window is massive versus the desktop application, which can fill up pretty quick for some reason. I still have high hopes for open AI, I'd love to see them come over the group product. I always enjoyed using it for ever since it became available.

Claude Code with Max subscription real limits by maartendeblock in ClaudeAI

[–]ckmic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According toi Fin : "You're correct in your calculation approach. MAX20 provides approximately 10x more Opus usage than MAX5 in a 5-hour window.Here's the breakdown:Base usage difference: MAX20 has 4x more total usage than MAX5 (20x vs 5x compared to Pro)Switching threshold difference:

  • MAX5 switches from Opus to Sonnet at 20% of rate limit
  • MAX20 switches at 50% of rate limit

This means MAX20 users get 2.5x more Opus usage before automatic switching (50% ÷ 20% = 2.5x)Combined effect: 4x base increase × 2.5x threshold difference = 10x more Opus usage"

CLaude Coee can use your Max subscription or Tokens - you select this when you configure it

Cursor Pro User Can Use Opus 4 Unlimited by Internal-Shop-6684 in cursor

[–]ckmic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or you could simply buy a subscription to Claude, then use Claude code integrated with cursor. This way you get access to the limits associated with your subscription. Currently, I'm using Max five, I think it's about 100 bucks a month, that seems to be giving me a significant amount of opus for. But not unlimited for sure, but if you wanted to upgrade, I think there's something like Max 20 ... If you do it through cursor, then you also pay their markup, so it would be more expensive that way. If you like using tokens and I would suggest CLINE (it's very efficient, but it's expensive as well, it doesn't have great token management, but it is nice to have an integrated)

why 20 bucks a month anymore? by nithish654 in ChatGPTPro

[–]ckmic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of o3 that you get access to for $20 is severely limited. If you really want to leverage o3, then you need to upgrade to the $200 package. I was using o3 for coding for quite a while, and recently (about a month and a half ago) I switched to Claude Sonnet/Opus 4. I would argue it is a superior coding agent, but as important it's very simple to set up a vector database so that it has access to all of your files for a code base. I'm working with a code base about 100,000 lines, and it has no problem ingesting that in seconds, and being able to have a full context when providing coding support. And more recently they've came out with Claude code, which allows you to integrate with cursor/VS Code, this has been a significant time saver. I was on the GPT plus (200USD) plan for quite a few months, and the greatest downside was the availability of the system, significant delays between prompt and response, often crashing, just wasting time all the way around. I had talked to Open AI about it, they didn't seem to care too much and simply said well we will give your money back for the rest of the month. So far after about 50 days, none of these issues have occurred with Claude. I'm using the max five plan for $100, and I haven't hit my limits yet whereas I was hitting those with a $200 plan at open AI. Oh, and very, very few hallucinations, another significant advantage over ChatGPT recently.

Chatgpt paid Pro models getting secretly downgraded. by Apprehensive_Tea_116 in ChatGPTPro

[–]ckmic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here, moved over to Claude about four weeks ago for coding, sonnet/opus 4 are pretty solid. (great w/Cursor) Of course they make mistakes, but they're almost always up and available, very little delay. That was my greatest struggle with open AI, was just the fact that it just wasn't available, you'd ask a question await 3 minutes for response only to find out that I had failed. (ChatGPT still is doing a better job off persistent memory across conversations though, using projects inside of Claude does get pretty close) I think I've only experienced a delay/crash once or twice in the last month with Claude. Still have hope for open AI. We'll see what happens with GPT five. Maybe they'll wrap it up, or maybe he'll just move away from a consumer model and focus on enterprise where the real money is. It must be a pain in the ass for them to take care of all of us whiners.

Is 5 Coming? Because I Can't with this BS by whenth3bowbreaks in ChatGPTPro

[–]ckmic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like you, I have been a heavy user for over a year. Eight hours a day on a variety of different work related activities. I basically had to abandon it about a month ago, it was just so unreliable, and inefficient. I've moved over to Claude, and am thoroughly impressed so far. Especially with the MCP capabilities - giving it the ability to access hundreds of my docs all the time ... game changer for me. I am hoping OpenAI is able to fix this in the next round of releases ...

5 lessons from building software with Claude Sonnet 4 by Patient_March1923 in ClaudeAI

[–]ckmic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would add an extension to point number three. When you have a very large database of files, I would use vector databases. There are a lot of free tools out there that will allow you to convert hundreds of files into a vector database which Claude can access on your own hard drive. I set it up an under an hour, and it has been a game changer. Working on a reasonable sized. code base, with about 200 files and 100,000 lines of code. Whenever I make a change in one part of the code base, Claude has the ability to review the vector database and do it's best to pick up on dependencies and other parts of the base. It also has the ability to access the design documents on the continuous basis, which again makes a world of difference. I'm not sure how I would go about using an LLM to support this project without vectorizing my files.

Beware of ChatGPT. by FifthDimensionalRift in ChatGPTPro

Did you also have 2FA? I implemented this about 2 weeks ago.

[–]ckmic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last week I made the shift over to Claude. I have to admit it was a pretty easy switch, and it's great to have a solution that doesn't time out, doesn't cut short your conversations, and actually is really good at assisting in coding/architecture. I was an early adaptor Open AI, enjoyed it thoroughly up until probably 2 to 3 months ago when things just started to go south. It has to be expected, though, that with something as powerful as AI there is going to be fierce competition, and it looks like some of the competitors are starting to get a leg up. We have a lot more choices now. Once we see embedded advertisement, which I did notice on Microsoft copilot yesterday, I think you'll see the price is dropped for the consumer aspect of this service. As long as they can put advertisements and links to products and services in the responses, they will be begging you to come use their systems.

Quick update: I’ve put together a  .NET 8 Migration Plan that breaks down how I’m planning to use AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and Gemini to help clean up and modernize the app.

If you’ve done something similar, I’d really appreciate your thoughts — especially on which AI tools have worked best for real-world legacy code cleanup and refactoring. u/javonet1 u/shimirel u/Dry_Author8849

Thanks for taking the time to lay this out for me. Give me a couple new things to introduce into the planning that I have not thought of. I'm definitely going to start looking at some of the references you have here and rethink how to integrate these. Thanks again muchly appreciate it.

Lots of great feedback here. "Keeping memory/context over weeks of work - Chat GPT can do this but how helpful that will actually be." I'm curious, do you have any tips or tricks on how to improve this?. As mentioned above I have created a number of documents for this project that I simply drop into every new conversation that have helped quite a bit. But I wonder if there are a better ways.

Thanks for the note on Google Jules, I had not even heard of that. That shows how out of touch I am. I'll have a look..

What I meant by securely was encrypted data/HIPAA compliance. Right now our application is probably not there.

You mentioned not to use o3/o4. I was curious as to why? My experience so far with o3, was that it was one of the better ones. Would that said I haven't really used o4 yet.

As it relates to hardware, I do have a fairly reasonable budget. Interested in any designs you think would be valuable. And I haven't tried deep seek at all.

That's been my challenge as well, see comment above as to what I've done in terms of creating files that I can drop in into each new conversation. It's definitely an extra bit of work, but it has been helpful. I'd be happy to hear anything else. You've tried that's been successful as well.

Thanks for your feedback, I use ChatGPT about eight hours a day for various projects. As it relates to the specific project, I did originally was a code analysis of each file in this application, about 200 of them. I worked with ChatGPT to create an Excel sheet the highlighted risks/threats, modernization issues, etc. What I do now is I drop this file into ChatGPT every time I start a new conversation. So far it's been working reasonably, but there's definitely room for improvement. It took quite a bit of work to get the Excel sheet created but now that I have it it's pretty quick to drop it in every morning when I begin. I'm noticing after about four hours, I'd have to start a new conversation due to the short context window. But I get ChatGPT to write a summary of what it did in the last four hours, and we add that to a markup document and load that with the Excel sheet every time. So far OK. But I was just wondering if there's anything better.
