Been running @testdriveso for almost 2 months. What works: the core community is fast and honest, and I got lots of test reports within these few weeks. What doesn’t yet: small ux issues, rank & payout transparency. Fixing that is the next stage, then opening it up to more people.

Multiple @testdriveso users recommended @excalidraw, so we test drove it. I drew TestDrive’s two tracks (Test Track and Attention Track) and the diagram came together fast with just the shape and arrow shortcuts. Would definitely use it on live stream or in a meeting. Missing: a Claude integration to generate the diagram from a prompt.

Rumours confirmed? Sign me up for plan A anytime
Anthropic has been cutting our usage for the past couple weeks. I literally maxed out one of our accounts in one day, and it's been like that the whole time. Feels like a $500 plan is incoming.

can anyone make an argument why i should pick Claude Max 20x over 2 Claude Max 5x plans? Since 20x doesn't give me 4x more weekly usage (which is what matters after all) Claude Max 5x got me to day 6 of the week Claude Max 20x (yes i was less efficient) only got me to day 5..
I seriously underestimated what my $20 Claude plan is worth. mostly Opus 5.5 on xhigh. $1,437 worth of API usage. honestly, Best $20 I spend every month. FYI if you're thinking about upgrading to Max 20x, there is something you should know. The "20x" doesn't mean you get 20 times more Claude for the whole week. It only means each 5 hour session is 20 times bigger than Pro's. On top of that there's a weekly limit, and on 20x it's only about double what you'd get on the $100 Max 5x plan. So you pay double for what looks like 4x the usage, and end up with roughly 2x.

Maxxed out Claude, resets in 29h. Maxxed out GrokBot, resets in 6d. First time opening Codex in 2w to cover the gap. While Instinct working non stop no limits.

Claude Bot is here curious what i'll be using most a week from now Grok Bot UX vs Claude Bot model & limits ..
We’re opening a research preview of Claude Duet, a new app where Claude works as a proactive agent. It comes to you with what needs your attention, completes tasks you ask of it, keeps working when you step away, and checks with you before it acts on your behalf.

First week back on Claude Max 20x but it doesn't feel like 20x tbh .. either limits decreased again, or Jevons paradox seriously in play here anyway token anxiety is real AF need a reset bad @bcherny

Test Drive should give @trycua a run, AI agents are hot and they combine all subscriptions into one platform, solving a real problem. If this works well, this might be the killer AI app check it out @testdriveso

just tested & it worked thanks for sharing @StatsWire
Most devs on the $20 Google AI Pro plan still don't realize Google quietly bundled Colab Pro (200 Compute Units/mo) directly into the subscription: - Hardware unlocked: 80GB NVIDIA A100 GPUs (167GB System RAM), 96GB Blackwell G4 GPUs, L4 GPUs, and Trillium v6e-1 TPUs - Monthly runtime: At ~6.77 CU/hr, your 200 monthly units give you ~30 hours/mo on an 80GB A100 - Agent bonus: With Google's Colab CLI, Antigravity or Claude Code can call those A100s straight from your terminal.

Grok Bot is great, but i hate how non-transparent the usage is. A Cursor subscription got me way further just using it in Cursor then using it on Grok Bot Would be great to understand what tokens are being spent on under the hood so at least we could optimize @elonmusk
