<p>~$1/hr over 4 hours.<p>I'm pretty conservative when it comes to clearing the context, and I also tend to provide the right files to work on (or at least the right starting point).<p>I had seen prior to using the model that it starts producing much worse results when the context used is larger, so my usage style probably helps getting better results. I work like this with Claude Code anyway, so it wasn't a big change.</p>

<p>After hitting Claude limits today I spent the afternoon using OpenCode + GLM 5.1 via OpenRouter and I was very impressed.<p>OpenCode picked up my CLAUDE.md files and skills straight away, and I got similar 
performance to Opus 4.6.</p>

<p>Me too. I got a random $45.08 invoice from Anthropic on Mar 21 despite the fact that I'm on the Max x5 plan, and have auto top up disabled.<p>Raised with support immediately, after being told a human would look at it I've not been able to get anything further.</p>

<p>I love this, the perfect antidote to all the stupid startup-bro grind bullshit posts.<p>You put in real work to understand the business landscape and typical pain points. With AI, implementing solutions has become much easier but knowing what the problems are and how to solve them hasn't.</p>

<p>Anecdotaly I think this is in Claude Code. It's pretty frequent to see it implement something, then declare it "forgot" a requirement and go back and alter or add to the implementation.</p>

<p>Anthropic are already running much of their workloads on Amazon Inferentia, so the nvidia tax was already somewhat circumvented.<p>AIUI <i>everything</i> relies on TSMC (Amazon and Google custom hardware included), so they're still having to pay to get a spot in the queue ahead of/close behind nvidia for manufacturing.</p>

<p>The service is still in preview, so AWS are explicitly telling people not to put it into production.<p>From my non-production experiments with it, the main limitation is that you can only retrieve up to 30 top_k results, which means you can't use it with a re-ranker, or at least not as effectively. For many production use cases that will be a deal breaker.</p>
