Several people at work, none use OpenClaw, had their limits jump immediately to 100%.

This is a reason to seriously consider changing providers.

Substantively: assuming this is true, what are the possible explanations? If they don't use OpenClaw, wouldn't this suggest there is some other cause?

What company? Will these people go on the record?

We live in a world where it is irrational for me to put much credence in a HN account. I see it has 125 karma and was created in January 2022.

I'm stepping away from LLMs in general and did cancel Claude code subscription this month because I respect myself very much and I deserve a better and transparent treatment.

If you must - in my experience Deepseek v4 is incredible value in every aspect. Pricing is transparent.

But like I said, I have funds in different AI gateways but I'm preferring to write by hand because I don't want surprising bugs and unnecessary code in my end result.

I did this and I use small local models as a productivity booster. It's been refreshing

Hints or tips on how to start with local models? I’m considering a new MacBook Pro and wondering if I should take that into account.

The biggest hint I have is set a budget. Then try some models out on either cloud instances or a computer you own. See if they work for you.

Spec your machine accordingly. Some models I recommend trying to get a feel for what's out there. Qwen 3.6 35b a3b, granite4.1 8b, llama 3.2 3b.

There are plenty of others but those give a good taste for different sizes and what they can do. If it's not enough then you are out maybe 5 bucks.

Also check in with r/localllama they have a bunch of people who can help you go further, spec machines, get better performance and results. If you don't want to post that's cool but there are lots of comments on how to get going. They are pretty friendly though so I'd read the rules and make a post asking for help

Admittedly havent used deepseek v4, but v3 was so overhyped and bad that I'm reluctant to wasting my time on it.

Maybe you will inspire me to use it.

You can use an LLM, review the code and therefore avoid surprising bugs and unnecessary code in your end result.

So close to doing the same

installing a local model gives you time to work on the important code and let the ai do the drudgery

They seem to be getting quite comfortable altering the terms of use without notifying users.

Sure. They want the data all to themselves. This reminds me of a time when I wanted to tax different types of web content. But back then people cared about freedom.

do they literally just have a regex match for all of their competitor harnesses?

nah, it's probably worse: it could be some system prompt for their models...

it's probably regex, just to not burn money on checking

That's funny, today I casually mentioned OpenClaw in a Claude chat on finance and it claimed to know nothing of what I was talking about...

Honestly, this isn't a change really from how anthropic has operated for a long, long time. They did the same with OpenCode, pi, etc. There isn't anything that can stop you from using the SDK, however.

Wonder if they tested that with actual code.

This is what being banned in the age of LLMs will look like.
