Using

Daily drivers. What I reach for without thinking about it.

daily

anthropic · Pro $20/mo

Cowork and Claude Code inside the desktop app. On Pro; I hit the caps regularly.

daily

terminal · Builder $20/mo

My terminal. Oz, Codex sessions, and the occasional Claude Code CLI run all happen here. — my referral

anthropic

The model I end up on most. Fast enough to live with, smart enough for day-to-day work.

openai

My default on the OpenAI side. 5.4 Mini for when I want something stupid-fast and cheap.

daily

16GB · 1TB

Primary machine. Old but still getting the job done — 16GB is starting to feel tight for heavier local work.

Currently evaluating. Still making up my mind.

wrapper

Clean wrapper around Codex and Claude Code. Liking the fit so far.

editor · Pro $20/mo

Another look, to see how much I want to live in the editor vs. Warp + T3 Code.
