$200 to $20. That's how your AI costs will... change if you switch from Claude Code Max to the MiniMax (official) Token Plan Plus in Kilo. MiniMax's latest model, M3, performs at 79% of Sonnet 5's level for a tenth of the price, and the plan gets you 1.7B tokens per month through Kilo. See how much you'd save with model freedom:show more

PEOPLE ARE BURNING THROUGH THEIR TOKENS IN 30 MINUTES... AND BLAMING CLAUDE The problem isn’t with the model. The problem is how they’re using it A simple formatting question they set Max effort The 40th message in the chat the model re-reads the entire history from the beginning Every single time. Using your tokens Low effort costs 10 times less than Max Just get into the habit of routing tasks by level and your limit won’t run out by noon Tokens don’t disappear. You’re just paying for unnecessary processingshow more

1.7 billion free tokens per month. A month ago... i showed you how to route claude code through free providers. someone just shipped the cleanest version of this setup yet… it's called Freellmapi 13,400+ stars on github, MIT licensed, takes 2 minutes to install. what it does: stacks the free tiers of 16 different LLM providers behind one local API. point claude code, codex, or cursor at that one endpoint, and it automatically routes your calls across all 16 free pools. The 16 providers it covers: Google, Groq, Cerebras, Mistral, OpenRouter, GitHub Models, Cloudflare, Cohere, NVIDIA, HuggingFace, Ollama Cloud, Kilo, Pollinations, LLM7, OVH, and OpenCode Zen. if you sign up to all 16 and add your free API keys, you get roughly 1.7 billion free tokens per month combined. ▫️ How to install (one command) curl -fsSL bash this runs the whole thing locally on your machine through Docker. once it's up, open paste your provider keys on the Keys page, and grab the unified API key from the dashboard. that's the key you point your apps at. With this, claude code stops hitting your monthly cap because every prompt routes through the 16 free pools instead of your paid plan. and if one provider rate-limits mid-conversation, freellmapi falls over to the next one automatically so your session never breaks. repo: Free, MIT-licensed, runs on your laptop or a $5 VPS.show more

This is one of the cheapest AI coding stacks... I’ve seen. Alibaba Cloud just dropped a coding plan starting at $10/month. With qwen3.5-plus, kimi-k2.5, glm-5, and MiniMax-M2.5, it already supports tools like Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Cline, and more. Link to try: 👇show more

We just launched Claude Sonnet 4.5 and “Imagine with... Claude”, a 5-day preview that creates dynamic experiences for you in real-time (and the first product I’ve worked on at Anthropic!). It pioneers the concept of “model-as-backend”, using a model to not only generate interfaces on the fly but also power all the functionality behind it – all made possible by our newest model, Claude Sonnet 4.5. Here’s a "choose your own adventure" version of my founder journey, as retold by Imagine with Claude:show more

PAYING PER MODEL IS THE DUMBEST THING IN TECH... RIGHT NOW i was paying 3x what i needed to for AI inference the grid lets you buy a quality spec instead of a specific model.. it routes every request in real time to the cheapest option that qualifies swap one url and your code keeps working exactly the same openai-compatible, one line to switch, 200M free tokens to startshow more

i've been paying 200$/month for AI tools for a... while now claude, chatgpt, all of it thought that was just the price of doing things properly then i read this and had to close my laptop for a second someone bought a used GPU from eBay for $700 five years old. RTX 3090. the kind of card people sell when they upgrade for gaming plugged in a free model called Qwen 3.6 that alibaba quietly dropped last month and it scored 84.1 on vision tasks claude 4.5 opus scored 77.0 the 200$/month subscription lost to a free model running on old hardware the math gets worse after 4 months you've paid off the GPU from month 5 onwards you pay $8 for electricity that's it no subscription. no per message cost. nothing leaves your computer. ever. turns out i didn't have to is anyone else just finding out about this or was i the last one to know?show more

if you use claude code, this will save you... real money. the problem: every time you make an edit, your ai rereads the whole codebase to figure out what changed. tens of thousands of tokens, every turn, for context it already had. this repo fixes it. it’s called code review graph, and it just maps your entire codebase: every file, every function, every connection laid out so you can see the actual shape of your project how to set up (2 min): 1. pip install code-review-graph 2. code-review-graph install - auto-configures Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI + more 3. code-review-graph build change one function, and it traces exactly what that touches... every caller, every dependent file, every test. your ai only reads what's affected, not the whole repo. and the savings are wild. a task that used to burn ~100,000 tokens (about a dollar) now runs closer to a penny.show more

Holly shit❗️ Mark Carney thinks our effective carbon price... is too low; "The effective carbon price in this country is actually quite low relative to the headline price,in the $20 to $30 range in most Canadian markets. And that's something we're working to rectify." The industrial carbon tax price increased to $110 this year, with a plan to increase it to a minimum of $130 and all the way to $170 around 2030. Do you understand how MASSIVE the increase to these levels will be to cost of things in Canada and how uncompetitive our industries will be!?show more

Claude Code 2.1.90 just dropped with a new /powerup... command Run it and you get interactive lessons that teach you how to use Claude Code right inside the tool.

A trio of mathematicians built the first physical model... of a “monostable” tetrahedron, a shape that will always flip-flop onto the same face no matter what side you place it on. In order for it to work properly, it had to be engineered to a level of precision within one-tenth of a gram and one-tenth of a millimeter. (From the archive)show more

this is f**king dangerous someone figured out how to... make Opus 4.8 run on Fable 5's brain with one prompt access to the best model is never guaranteed. It disappeared once already this year. but you can use it forever. here's how: 1. ask Fable 5: "write the operating manual your replacement will run on" (procedures, failure modes, a 5-question self-test) 2. save the output as one .md file and drop it into a new Claude Project as the project instructions 3. switch to Opus 4.8 and now your everyday model runs off the smart one's method, no top-tier price save and bookmark this no matter what full extraction prompt is in the article below: ↓show more

Codex can run Qwen-3.8-max now as well!! Alibaba most... capable model, dropped today and it's already in my codex picker. It's a token plan subscription, not metered api billing. You take the key from your Qwen plan, drop it into Codex Router, and it spends down the plan instead of your card. There's a catch though. Qwen's official setup switches your whole codex over to them, so your ChatGPT models stop showing up at all. That's exactly what Codex Router is for. It adds models to the list instead of replacing them, so sol, Grok, kimi, Deepseek and now Qwen 3.8 max all sit in the same picker and it can grab whichever one suits the job. Router's open source, setup's in the video 👇show more

Added context to my tiny diffusion model to enable... sequential generation of longer outputs! Currently the context is a quarter of the sequence length (seq_len=256, context_len=64). I have a theory that the less semantic-value-per-token, the worse the “curse of parallel decoding” is. With parallel decoding, we independently predict multiple tokens in one step. With the sentence “My poker hand was a ___ ___”, two valid predictions are “two pair” and “straight flush”. Because each token prediction is independent though, we can end up with a nonsensical output like “two flush”. This seems to be exacerbated with low semantic-value-per-token, as now you need more tokens to express the same concept. Instead of needing to independently predict two tokens, we might need to predict 10 instead (which is of course much harder). The model currently has noticeably worse output compared to nanogpt (similar size) and I believe this is a main reason. I’ll try adding confidence-aware parallel decoding (from NVIDIA’s Fast-dLLM paper) and other tricks and see how much they improve generation quality.show more
