Yeah the whole OpenAI exodus brought in a ton of people and Anthropic was struggling to meet the previous usage already That’s why there’re now work hours restrictions

For a start they could make the answers less talkative? I switched back to ChatGPT out of necessity, because Claude stopped working after two queries, where it gave overly elaborate answers (about a simple web app config). But Claude isn't alone. It seems a recent (subjective) trend that Claude and ChatGPT give very lengthy answers, with a lot of repetition from the original query on the free plans. I got used to add "answer briefly", to keep the noise in check.

> Anthropic recently accidentally released part of its internal source code for Claude Code due to "human error". I wonder who that human was counting on leading up to this "human error" ...

There are ways to reduce token usage if you use Claude correctly :)
