In this video, I break down the recent Claude degradation issues, why subscription models feel unreliable right now, and the best API-first alternatives like OpenCode, GLM Coding Plan, KiloCode, and more to keep your coding workflow stable and cost‑effective.

Key Takeaways:

🚨 Anthropic acknowledged degraded outputs for Sonnet 4 and Haiku 3.5; I explain why I think the impact was broader and tied to inference changes.
💸 Subscriptions can be fragile; API access via Vertex/Bedrock (through Requesty) proved more reliable for me than Claude Subscription.
🔄 Strategy: use open-source tools and swap providers, not tools—switching providers is much easier than rebuilding your stack.
🧰 Alternatives: GLM Coding Plan ($3) supports coders like Roo, OpenCode, KiloCode, and Cline; monitor performance as usage grows.
🧪 Other options: Chutes ($10) for many models, plus Cerebras Code with a fast Qwen 3 Coder—choose based on your tasks and latency needs.
🛠️ OpenCode vs Crush: OpenCode is more mature and consistent; Crush can feel faster but tends to underperform on longer tasks.
⚙️ OpenCode features: sub-agents, IDE extension, Claude Code compatibility, and easy provider setup (GLM, Claude Max, etc.).
🧠 MCP servers I use: Context7 for documentation fetching, and ByteRover as a memory layer with Git-style history and team sharing.
🖥️ Prefer a GUI? KiloCode is a solid VS Code option that uses APIs without OpenRouter markup fees.
🆓 Free tools like Qwen Code and Gemini CLI are great, but rate limits and policy changes mean you can still get rug-pulled.
✅ Big takeaway: go API-first, stay flexible, and avoid locking into any single subscription.
