alt Hacker News> CC is a better implementation and seems to be fairly economic with token usage. That is the really the only defining point and, I suspect, Anthropic are going to have a lot of trouble staying relevant with all the product issues.
What are you using to drive the Chinese models in order to evaluate this? OpenCode?
Some of Claude Code's features, like remote sessions, are far more important than the underlying model for my productivity.
Yes, 100% agree. OpenHands has self-hosted, KiloCode and RooCode both have a cloud option. I don't think you are able to pass a session around with any of them. Codex seems to have comparable features afaik.
CC tool usage is also significantly ahead imo (doesn't negate the price but it is something). I have seen issues with heavy thinking models (like Minimax) and client implementations with poor tool usage (like Cline).
CC has had a period over the last six months of delivering significant value...but, of course, you can just use CC with OpenRouter.
