I’d say you are wrong about the “anti-AI sentiment”. It’s possible to recognize the tool works well in general and also objectively observe as it adds contradictory features and evolves behavior in ways to encourage token waste. Claude Code CLI is also a very narrow part of their portfolio at the moment.

CC can waste reams of tokens indeed.

Pi with hash-based replaces is very token-efficient. That plus cache headers for OpenCode Go and here I am, unable to hit the 5-hour limit unless I use GLM (which doesn’t cache).

Anthropic’s incentive to save tokens on subscription users directly clashed with their incentive to waste tokens on Enterprise.
