For some problems, sure, and when you are stuck, throwing tokens at Opus is worthwhile.
On the other hand, a $10/month minimax 2.7 coding subscription that literally never runs out of tokens will happily perform most day-to-day coding tasks
- sumedh 6mo agoWhy pay for two subscriptions though? Claude also has other models which use less tokens.
- swiftcoder 6mo agoRedundancy, mostly. And having left over tokens when Opus eats all of those tokens
- solenoid0937 6mo ago"Literally never runs out of tokens?" lol, no. Tokens are just energy. There is always a way to run out of tokens, and no one will subsidize free tokens forever.
- pistoriusp 6mo agoif you run it at home then the sun is a pretty good way to get "free energy."
- swiftcoder 6mo ago"Never runs out of tokens" in the sense that running 8 hours a day 7 days a week is still under the subscription limit
- solenoid0937 6mo agoYou can also do that on an API without hitting a limit!
- swiftcoder 6mo agoNot typically at predictable monthly spend, which turns out to be important to some folks
