> casting about for viable egress paths if I need to flee Claude Code

Check out OpenCode (the OSS product [1]) and OpenCode Go/Zen (the LLMaaS [2]). Use a more expensive model with larger context (like GLM-5.1) for orchestration and cheaper models for coding and iteration on acceptance criteria (writing and passing tests). I also throw a more expensive vision-capable model into the mix like Gemini 3 Flash to iterate on UI tasks using Playwright. With the base usage in Go and pay as you go on cheaper models like MiniMax you can get a lot done for not a lot of coin.

Same here. I'm not even using OpenClaw myself and it's starting to make me nervous. Every week it's a new problem, and then Anthropic deals with it by doing something so stupid and controversial it becomes news. It's really tiresome.

> or instance, maybe you can't afford to take on more customers right now, Anthropic. Maybe if you are severely undermining the customer relationships you already have, you should just admit you can't sell any more 20x plans right now and only accept new customers at lower tiers until you have the necessary capacity.

Or just increase prices for new claude code users? Surely transparent upfront across the board price increases are easier to swallow than hidden context-based pricing changes like this?

Codex has been great for me

I have been eyeing off the ollama and minimax plans, but I just don’t know how to compare them. Ollama especially, I have no idea how much usage I could get out of a plan.

Also, just learned about opencode go from other comments here, so gotta look into that.

I'm a hair's breadth from switching to a Kimi plan at this point.
