Nothing is stopping you from using the API directly, if you prefer to donate more money to Anthropic. I would not personally, as I can't spend thousands per month on an agentic tool. I hope they figure out limits that work. $100 /

Agree. I stopped reading after the blurb below because it tells me this person has not actually even used Copilot or Cursor to a serious degree. This is an AI-written sentence that seems fine, but is actually complete nonsense. > Each to

The article has a political focus, but I think anthropomorphism is counter-productive from a technical perspective as well. "Agents" are just prompt completions (or chains of prompt completions) in a loop. "Tool calls" a

Agree and disagree. Yes, the bottleneck is going to still be human review. But with only a single Claude Code (or Cursor), I spent a lot of time (a couple minutes at a time) waiting for the agent to run through its loop completing what I as

Fair enough. I guess a better way to put it is: for people who like Cursor's UX, but prefer Claude Code's performance as an agent, the combination of both would be the true killer app. Having to choose between these feels like a t

BAML is a language that gives you jinja-like templating. But it also provides structured output parsing and bindings in Python and TypeScript that allow you to execute prompts as typed functions in your code. They also have a VS Code "

Kubernetes. AWS. React. All have high learning curves to use effectively, hoardes of footguns, etc. But if you get over that curve, they can be fantastic tools with tons of value. LLM-assisted dev tooling is similar, in my view.

+1 for BAML. I find that the "prompts as typed functions" concept really simplifies the mental model here, making LLM apps easier to reason about.

Similar: https://www.promptfiddle.com/ From the BAML team, so it uses the BAML syntax (open source).

Cursor's multi-file tab completion and multi-file diff experience are worth $20 easily IMO. I truly do not understand people's affinity for a CLI interface for coding agents. Scriptability I understand, but surely we could agree t

I think you're making the author's point, though. If two users ask the bot the same question and get different answers, is the bot valuable? A dice roll that might be (or is even _probably_) correct is not what I want when going d

In my experience the longer thinking time before acting is due to the model (2.5 Pro). Claude Sonnet 4 is just snappier overall. Same experience in tools like Cursor when comparing these models.

Is LiteLLM integration on the roadmap? I get that part of the motivation to build this is to funnel usage to Google models, but it would be nice to be able to go through OpenRouter and/or use local models too. Open source is nice, but

Why not both? Claude Code's agent with Cursor's UI harness would be killer, I think. The current CC IDE integration is a poor approximation, imo. The Cursor diff experience is good, as is its tab complete. Claude Code's agent
