It's a cash grab. More conversational AI means more folks running out of free or lower paid tier tokens faster, leading to more upsell opportunities. API users will pay more in output tokens by default.

Example, I asked Claude a high level question about p2p systems and it started writing code in 3 languages. Ignoring the code, asking a follow up about the fundamentals, it answered and then rewrote the code 3 times. After a few minutes I hit a token limit for the first time.

It's pretty ridiculous that the response style doesn't persist for Claude. You need to click into a menu to set it to 'concise' for every single conversation. If I forget to it's immediately apparent when it spits out an absurd amount of text for a simple question.

Claude is a great example of a great product coupled with shitty UX, UI and customer service all in one.

Is it just me or does it slow down significantly after 5 chats or so? Or the fact that you have to set the style for each chat.

Oh, and their sales support is so shit for teams and enterprises that in order to use it effectively, you have to literally make your team register for Claude Max 200 on their personal accounts.

I've had good results saying Do not code, focus on architecture first.

As another comment said, use planning mode. I don't use Claude code (I use cursor) and before they introduced planning mode, I would always say "without writing any code, design blah blah blah"

But now that there's planning mode it's a lot easier.

In claude code you should use Planning mode

I think the cash grab is that by far the biggest use case for these models is personal relationship. Chai AI is doing more tokens per month than Anthropic all together and its just personal relationships.
