What’s neat is we can proxy requests from Gemini or fork it with only replacing the api call layer so it can be used with local models!!!

As a heavy Claude code user that's not really a selling point for me

Ultimately quality wins out with LLMs. Having switched a lot between openai, google and Claude, I feel there's essentially 0 switching cost and you very quickly get to feel which is the best. So until Claude has a solid competitor I'll use it, open source or not

Even if you don't care about open source, you should care about all the obfuscation happening in the prompts/models being used by Cursor/Claude Code/etc. With everything hidden, you could be paying 200/mo and get served Haiku instead of Sonnet/Opus. Or you could be getting 1k tokens of your code inserted as context instead of 100k to save on inference costs.

so what? I care about the quality of the result. They can do that however they want

A more credible argument is security and privacy, but I couldn't care less if they're managing to be best in class using haiku

They made Claude Code available on their $20/month plan about two weeks ago. Your point still stands, of course.

If what they're serving me is Haiku, then give me more Haiku.

I love healthy competition that leads to better use experiences
