Anthropic has very tight limits, so you're basically using the worst (pricing-wise) SOTA cloud model as your baseline. I have $200 subs for both Claude and OpenAI, and I also bump into limits with Claude all the time, whether coding or research. With Codex, I ran into the limit once so far, and that's in a month of very heavy (sometimes literally 24 hours around the clock, leaving long-running tasks overnight) use.

I bought the Gemini Ultra to try for a month (at the discounted price). I have been using it non-stop for Opus 4.6 Thinking, which is much better than Gemini 3 Pro (High) and it's been a blast. The most I've managed to consume is 60% of my 5 hourly quota. That was with 2-3 instances in parallel.

I hope too many of us won't be doing this and cause Google to add limits! My hope is Google sees the benefit in this and goes all in - continues to let people decide which Google hosted model to use, including their own.

How do you use Opus through Gemini Ultra? I must be missing something

It's available in antigravity.

Huh, fascinating. I'll check it out

Can you use the models you get through Gemini Ultra in Claude Code? If not, what coding tool do you use?

Not OP, but I am pretty sure they are using Opencode with a certain antigravity plugin. Not going to link it, since it technically allows breaking TOS. If you‘re not using Opencode yet, I wholeheartedly recommend the switch.

Getting CC to work with other models is quite straightforward -- setting a few env vars, and a thin proxy that rewrites the requests/responses to be in the expected format.
