alt Hacker NewsI switched to Pi and it was great but I had to switch back to Claude Code purely for the subscription. Even with all the token efficiency I built into Pi it just wasn't nearly as good value as an Anthropic subscription. All open models ended up being more expensive so I switched to using an OpenAI subscription, which was better, but the OpenAI subscription is way less generous AND their models are behind. It became hard to justify.
Sorry, what on earth are you doing where the open models are more expensive than the subs?
When I was using anthropic subs, my "equivalent usage" was $6k/month.
On the open models (specifically deepseek flash), it's < $100/month.
Same work, maybe more.
