Same issue (I am Danish).

Have you tested alternatives? I grabbed Open Code and a Minimax m2.1 subscription, even just the 10usd/mo one to test with.

Result? We designed a spec for a slight variation of a tool for which I wrote a spec with Claude - same problem (process supervisor tool), from scratch.

Honestly, it worked great, I have played a little further with generating code (this time golang), again, I am happy.

Beyond that, Glm4.7 should also be great.

See https://dev.to/kilocode/open-weight-models-are-getting-serio...

It is a recent case story of vibing a smaller tool with kilo code, comparing output from minimax m2.1 and Glm4.7

Honestly, just give it a whirl - no need to send money to companies/nations your disagree with with.

I've been using GLM 4.7 with Claude Code. best of both worlds. Canceled my Anthropic subscription due to the US politics as well. Already started my "withdrawal" in Jan 2025, Anthropic was one of the few that was left

I much prefer OpenCode these days, give it a try.

I'm in the same boat. Sonnet was overkill for me, and GLM is cheap and smart enough to spit out boilerplate and FFMPEG commands whenever it's asked.

$20/month is a bit of an insane ask when the most valuable thing Anthropic makes is the free Claude Code CLI.

		I don't know, I max out my Opus limits regularly. I guess it depends on usage.
