I let Claude take the wheel with various non-professional projects which often means heavy subagent workflows. Prompts like this easily eat through my 5x Max plan limits:
> I want you to look for UI issues related to transitions. Look for jumps, reverts, or anything that doesn't follow UI/UX best practices. You might need to figure out how best to even record and review UI transitions. Do all testing locally on a local dev server, but make sure to undo any database changes you make in the process of testing. Be exhaustive and report back with an .html report that highlights the visual issues and proposed solutions so I can review each one. Ultracode on.
Which means I have up to 10 Opus 5.5 medium agents running concurrently for long stretches of time.
I want to be clear I don't think that using Claude in this way gets you the best possible results. But when the app is fully vibecoded then audit prompts like the one above can be seen as a definite net positive. Making Claude think really hard about various improvement routines will get you better results in that one aspect than Claude's first attempt to build something from scratch did.
I was able to remove much of the CCP censorship from Qwen 3.8 27B for around $90 using a LoRA. I multiplied the LoRA in permanently and listed it on HuggingFace.
The cost was approximately $80 for generating synthetic data and $10 to create and integrate the LoRA.
As an uninformed idiot my guess is we have more than enough compute in various labs to run a sentient model. But I doubt any models we’re currently running could qualify.
Kind of like how we could have ran Qwen 3.8 27B 20 years ago on an expensive computer. The technology to make it happen, assuming you knew exactly what was required, existed back then.
The human body has the ability to automate some muscular movements so the brain is out of the loop. Maybe these LLMs should be allowed to write in a small DSL that can trigger events out-of-band (something like "Oh fuck there's a spider, I'll set up a click spam loop and check in every 500ms").
