I'm was closing a day of work and it stopped in the middle of a long plan, I started codex and tell it: "I was in the middle of work with Claude could you read the plan and the session "x" in ~/.claude and continue the work" it just completed everything :D
I’m working on a project that makes switching between coding harnesses essentially unnoticeable. It’s particularly useful when I run out of credits on any given day
The entire platform is skill driven, and based on the premise that state is your local file system. That makes switching harnesses so easy
It’s all open source and has plenty of other features, including inter agent communication, telegram client and much more in the pipeline
I started using Pi with Astra on a whim after really enjoying Astra and reading somewhere that you get close to identical results as with the codex harness but for a significant hunk less token usage.
Coming from mostly using Claude models, the terse factual statements coming from Astra via the Pi harness are a breath of fresh air over having to wade through the flowery verbose nonsense that Claude constantly outputs
1. I go direct to source, i.e. DS platform, I find it cheaper than paying the openrouter tax -- I also switch it up a bit
2. I built a local LLM router, that I update with new profiles that have my preferred provider of the week (lowest token costs/speed) with fallbacks, like mimo --> DS4 etc.. if there is overloading,
3. I use 3 diff harnesses, CC/Codex + Opencode -- they all talk to each other through a custom rig system that routes messages between llms using a Rust backed structured JSON system
Not saying this is the best, it's just what I like and works for me^.
I can flow quite naturally between Opus/Astra/K3/GLM/MiMo/DS/etc.. this way and often do...more so these days with subs no longer great as they used to be.
`claude --resume` will list your sessions, you can copy the title. Codex may just list and grep the sessions files in ~/.claude and filter the one with the name.
I also have the habit of naming my sessions with `/rename`
I don't know if something changed recently, but I have been getting a lot of stuff "flagged by safeguards" in the last two days.
I am quite confident that what I'm doing is well within the law, and I'm not even doing any kind of pen-testing stuff, just some basic reverse engineering, but I can't even use Fable anymore because every time I enable it, it works for about twenty seconds and makes me drop down to Opus 4.8, and often even down to Sonnet.
If anyone here works at Anthropic, did you make the safeguards super sensitive recently?
Do you know where these rumors are coming from? I keep seeing posts like yours on HN and Reddit, which, yes, literally confirms there are rumors, but I can't tell whether they're based on anything.
Posted this in the xiaomi thread, but are folks working in biology / cybersecurity seeing more limits in what Opus (not Fable) is allowing? This has happened quite suddenly for me and I’m stuck in the middle of a project that would have otherwise called for use of Claude.
I’ll be trying these models out and may end up switching my subscriptions if this craziness continues
i was talking to opus the other night about the polio vaccine related stuff (i had been arguing with one of those people who claims the polio vaccine didn't work so i figured i'd use it as an excuse to brush up on some bio/history). i asked it to explain how polio virus was isolated pre PCR and claude hard killed my session citing security reasons (it was talking about stool samples ffs LOL)
Hell i’m working on ai for board games as a hobby (tfmbot.com) and one of the cards is ‘microbes’. Sent straight back to 4.8 for having that in my code.
Apologies for the rant, but why do these things constantly hit the front page? It is not interesting, it's not a discussion, and if you are using the models you probably already know.
HN is already a waterfall of AI meta conversations and bike-shedding, now we have to discuss service outages about the AI too?
Can we talk about stuff people are building again, with or without AI, and stop gasping at every minute detail of LLM service providers.
Also... One of the only industries/products where unusable product/seevice (token / context burned) is neither refunded let alone even acknowledged. I wonder how many millions of dollars of inference have been stolen during these outages? First you lose the work in flight, then you lose the time, and finally you lose the token burn for a second time. What a fantastic time to not have any regulations if you're rich and greedy!
Everyone at Anthropic is interviewing a new Claude model which they are about to hire and forgot to monitor their old model and thus it goes down.
If outages like this happened on every major deploy at any other company; this would be viewed as unacceptable, especially if it was something like Google Search going down on every update.
I’ve subscribed to chatgpt at 50% off last week and I’m using claude less and less. Not only replies are faster but 20$ plan gives you access to astra.
Not sure how can claude even compete at this point unless openAI seriously downgrade the models to save money.

DS 4.1 flash is my main powerhouse and Opus/Astra my auditors (when they're not out of tokens) otherwise K3 or DS4 pro

1. who hosts the inference
2. which harness are you using with it, still CC?

gpt-6-sol and Aeon (personal agent) on Thursday. Already preceded by a huge week with step, mimo, grok, and jev releases.
Relentless cycle.

Proof that vibe coded or not, people pay someone else mostly for liability.
