I was the same until I ran out of Anthropic tokens one day and used "Grok Build" which is their Claude Code clone. You can use config to point it any LLM API so don't need to use Grok, and I like the UI better too.
replyYour point on the harness is interesting. How do you distinguish characteristics of the model from characteristics of the harness?
replyIn the early days I feel it was more apparent. You would frequently see the model making failed tool calls etc.. but now that feels so rare. I'm not confident I can perceive whatever shortcomings of the harness remain.
Bit of a tangent but at work we have GitHub Copilot and the VSCode harness is somehow night and day better than whatever happens in the IntelliJ plugin. Aside from having better features, for some reason prompts seem to be cheaper as well.
