Wildly understating this part.

Even the best local models (ones you run on beefy 128GB+ RAM machines) get nowhere close to the sheer intelligence of Claude/Gemini/Codex. At worst these models will move you backwards and just increase the amount of work Claude has to do when your limits reset.

Yeah this is why I ended up getting Claude subscription in the first place.

I was using GLM on ZAI coding plan (jerry rigged Claude Code for $3/month), but finding myself asking Sonnet to rewrite 90% of the code GLM was giving me. At some point I was like "what the hell am I doing" and just switched.

To clarify, the code I was getting before mostly worked, it was just a lot less pleasant to look at and work with. Might be a matter of taste, but I found it had a big impact on my morale and productivity.

Did you eventually move to a $20/mo Claude plan, $100/mo Claude plan, $200/mo, or API based? if API based, how much are you averaging a month?

I now have 3 x 100 plans. Only then I an able to full time use it. Otherwise I hit the limits. I am q heavy user. Often work on 5 apps at the same time.

Shouldn't the 200 plan give you 4x?? Why 3 x 100 then?

Good point. Need to look into that one. Pricing is also changing constantly with Claude
