The API still has limits. Even if you are on the highest tier, you will quickly run into those limits when using coding assistants.

The value proposition of Glama is that it combines UI and API.

While everyone focuses on either one or the other, I've been splitting my time equally working on both.

Glama UI would not win against Anthropic if we were to compare them by the number of features. However, the components that I developed were created with craft and love.

You have access to:

* Switch models between OpenAI/Anthropic, etc.

* Side-by-side conversations

* Full-text search of all your conversations

* Integration of LaTeX, Mermaid, rich-text editing

* Vision (uploading images)

* Response personalizations

* MCP

* Every action has a shortcut via cmd+k (ctrl+k)

Ok, but that's not the issue the parent was mentioning. I've never hit API limits but, like the original comment mentioned, I too constantly hit the web interface limits particularly when discussing relatively large modules.

Right, that's how I read it also. It's not that there's no limits with the API, but that they're appreciably different.

Your chat idea is a little similar to Abacus AI. I wish you had a similarly affordable monthly plan for chat only, but your UI seems much better. I may give it a try!

Even heavy coding sessions never run into Claude limits, and I’m nowhere near the highest tier.

I think it’s based on the tools you’re using. If I’m using Cline I don't have to try very hard to hit limits. I’m on the second tier.
