Just when you think things have gotten better… Claude (both 3.5 and 3.7) keeps chasing its own bugs down a rabbit hole and making them worse.
Trying to have the models debug and solve problems costs me more in premium requests than any requests that make actual progress.
Makes you wonder if the system isn’t rigged to charge people more for any usage-based pricing overruns.
I fully expect these issues to improve dramatically, but keeping in mind that all this extraneous prompting and computing power is adding excessive overhead to the servers we’re making requests to.
Imagine the day this stuff becomes so good… the computing power requirements, per user, will decline greatly. I’d like to think that the monthly fees do too. LOL
Just hanging on for dear life right now and making periodic backups to ensure a smooth recovery when climbing out of that rabbit hole.
