I use the Claude Code VSCode plugin for 80% of my work. I prefer it because I can look at the code (although not as often anymore) and config (very often!) easily. It also lets me jump to previous conversations easily. There are a few cases

A Opus 4.7/Gpt5.5 class model is 5 trillion parameters[1]. To run a 8 bit quantized version of that you need roughly 5TB of RAM. Today that is around 18 NVidia B300. That's around $900,000, without including the computers to run t
