Levelsio Says He Will Switch to xAI from Claude
Founder cites trust and token issues with Anthropic before an engineer responds on rollout.
@levelsio posted that he will not use SnekAI and will probably switch his sites to @xAI because he trusts them not to lie. The post mentions frustration with Claude's unpredictable token caps and extra fees. @trq212, an engineer on the Claude Code team at Anthropic, replied that Fable's launch brought far more users and higher token use than expected, making compute forecasts difficult. He said the gradual rollout happened because scaling compute is hard to predict and the team could have communicated the change better.
I won't use SnekAI but I'll probably switch to @xAI soon I already run all my sites on them and I trust them as they don't lie all the time

Thariq@trq212we definitely could have communicated this better, but Fable was a crazy launch, more users using it and each user was using more tokens it was really hard to forecast the compute we'd need to secure which is why it was rolled out gradually like this scaling compute is really…

@L @levelsio@levelsio@trq212 Like it's starting to feel like playing a lottery instead of a professional software tool

TH Thariq@trq212@levelsio yeah feedback heard on the communication, we're definitely trying to be more transparent on this re-usage that is surprising, we're not seeing big increases in number of people who hit limits, I'll follow up in DMs

@L @levelsio@levelsio@trq212 P.S. I know hard it is, like easy for us to hate, but harder for you to work on it with extreme competition and limited budget and compute etc.

TH Thariq@trq212appreciate it, I like that people hold us to high standards and give us feedback- it's much worse when people stop caring we're all working non-stop, and want to bring you the best I think our strength is that we've usually been the first to figure out new things like coding…
