If Claude could stay available I might consider it. Unfortunately right now, out of the big three, only Gemini has reliable uptime. As much as I dislike Google it's the only reliable option.
It's a shame because when Claude is working well it is the best for actual algorithmic coding. There's so much cruft around it now, memories being the most annoying part of that.
80% of the time I just use these things as a sounding board when exploring options and I need responsiveness for that.
Might be time to run my own models.
I find I need to explain I know what I'm talking about first before it gives me non-patronising answers.
It definitely advertises Google services and I would say I hate it. But it's just reliably available. Neither Claude nor ChatGPT are responding at all today.
Other usually find the mistake or check new sources to fix the mistake.
