Hm I had built out a system that tested a few hundred decisions and clef beat Jev pretty handily, I think there was actually 0 instances where clef regressed and it improved about 20% of the false decisions.

Terrible take, it’s tied with Astra Max yet you decided to round it down for no good reason.

Then you try to pin discount pricing when everyone has some discount going on, and knows they will release some new model before it ends anyway.

And if you’d have used Muse Max at all you’d know it’s not been really in the same league as the rest. Then again Astra and Sol are both not really competing with Opus now with 5.5 either.

It’s a solid release on paper and until anyone uses it I find anyone trying to proclaim a loser completely unreliable.

If they’re smart they pull a DeepSeek and teach flash to beat this entirely within a month or two, I wouldn’t bet against it.

Interesting, rolling out new limits would explain a lot. Where did you hear this? I wonder if they detect users with multiple accounts and do that first.

I just used Build for ~4 hours, no Bot.

Either this is untrue or my account is in some bugged state. I bought the 300 plan 3.5 weeks ago, and found it's usage about 1/10th of others, running out always the first day of usage for the whole week while CC for example would last 2-3 at higher usage.

It reset just a few hours ago and I've been running it, couldn't be more than 15 sessions none more than an hour long:

---

Session usage: no model calls yet in this session.

Weekly limit: 46%

Next reset: September 27, 23:20

---

I actually have to believe my account is messed up tbh, it's so bad. For reference I've ran 12 fable and some ~40 Opus sessions since reset yesterday on a CC account, at least 5x more usage by my estimate:

  Current week (all models)

                                       28% used

  Resets Sep 28 at 5am (Pacific/Honolulu)

Ok looking at it more, Grok and Grok Build just really suck. They are about 10x less token efficient, often using 200+ tool calls in a row for what are not even big tasks where Opus would use 5-10. Their cache hit rate is worse, and two sessions got into basically unnecessary loops costing a solid quarter of the entire week. And this was on smaller tasks as I tend to use it for easier things.

By far the worst value subscription of any. I tried Superheavy and got about 5-10% the usage of CC/Codex.

It's really not a question, in every dimension I've confirmed it including socially across a lot of the heaviest users. There was a short period of time this was true it's not been true for months now.

There was a period of time Codex was better, they slowly cut it back by my estimate 3x a few months ago.

I've verified this with the heaviest users I know, I've run the numbers myself over and over.

I have too many max accounts on each to not know this. My Claude accounts typically are doing 2x the number of sessions, and every single week the Codex accounts run out faster even with all these resets. I can easily burn a full weeks usage in a half day, it's closer to 1.5 with CC.

Anthropic gives you much more compute with their $200 plan, inclusive of resets, and this has been true for a very long time.

There was only a brief window of time that the opposite was true.

This is not true, the last few releases have had almost no breaking changes. There was a really bad period during all their big refactors but they've since corrected for that.

And as for outdated dependencies, breaking changes, and unfriendly companies, the reason I ever got into RN was after trying to build an iOS app using SwiftUI (and then bailing to UIKit to no avail). Talk about a borked ecosystem.

The frameworks, developer tools, languages, and iteration speed of RN hands down beat any one platform, and you have one model for your data and state which is an unequivocal win. I agree it has plenty of warts, but the arc of progress is that they have been going down steadily.

If you're a 3k person developer team where 200ms can cost millions a year, then by all means go purely native. Though I bet if they'd just gone to the new architecture and spent 1/5 of the cost in agents optimizing things and building a few native bridges they'd have nicer apps and be shipping faster.

Cool stuff. I'm moving One[stack.dev] onto pure rust now, and Tamagui v3 compiler will also is moving from Babel to Yuku which is quite interesting - from my testing it's more flexible and quite a bit faster than OXC.

Went from years behind to months pretty quick.

Insert the famous Louie CK phones on planes bit. Sand is thinking, working, coding and now looking for you, for pennies an hour... but "oof" it's not good enough.

It's more likely they are found to be breakthrough medicines in inflammatory disease, addiction, and general life extension at this point.
