I used Claude in chrome and Claude Code. It did everything for me.

Anyone who has all three and found iPad still useful? I’m mostly on my MacBook and use iPhone when I’m not on my MacBook, or Apple TV.

Agreed. I removed it.

So the only difference between slash custom command and agent skills is that they can be invoked only when needed instead of stuffing the whole markdown file? I’m trying to understand how is this different from what we already have in markdown files.


Correct. It helps by not distracting your LLM with a prompt that is, in X% of the cases, irrelevant to the task at hand.

However, when you DO need to do something special (like create a new endpoint), the LLM knows where to get more info on this.

Kinda like a library of „how to“ books.


I was blown away by this model. It was definitely comparable to sonnet 4. In some of my tests, it performed as good as Opus. I subscribed to their paid plan, and now the model seems dumb? I asked it to find and replace a string. It only made the change in one file. Codex worked fine. Can Z.ai confirm if this is the model we get through their API or is it quantized for Claude Code use?


I’ve been using it and I think it’s on par with sonnet.


Not OP. Chutes.ai charges $0.20 per 1M tokens. I don’t think it uses caching though because I ended up burning $30 in an hour or two. I had to move back to Claude Code.


Caching makes price comparisons hard. Does anyone have tips?


Claude Code recently showcased how powerful it can be when you don’t have to memorize commands. My AI agent works similarly. It finds the right CLI commands instead of relying on Playwright or an MCP server to perform tasks. What’s interesting is that even the agent doesn’t know many commands upfront; it simply uses the help option to discover what’s available.


I strongly agree with you. I’m more of a CLI guy, and Claude Code just works. Most good projects have a CLI anyway (gcloud, GitHub CLI, Vercel, etc.). I prefer CLI vs MCP’s. I’m on the $200 plan, and it’s absolutely worth it (never thought I’d say this for a CLI app).


But CC is more work to setup, especially if you want to use multiple models. Not even sure it supports all the models that the IDE products do.


All the AI models are no using em-dashes. ChatGPT keeps using them even after explicitly told not to. Anybody know what’s up with these models?


I don't know, but as someone who likes using em-dashes in my writing it is disappointing that they have become a marker of LLM slop.
