I checked my Claude Code stats today and had to read them twice.
→ 9 days
→ 6.26 BILLION tokens
→ ~$2,960 worth of compute at API prices
→ 75% of my weekly limit still untouched
On a $100/month plan. 🤯
What am I building? https://t.co/ViJ1vYJfRG: one app with both Telegram and WhatsApp inside. Built for people in countries where both are blocked, so they can use them without a VPN.
I started building it with Grok. Slow, messy, constantly off-target. I spent more time fixing its output than moving forward.
Then I switched to Opus 5.5. Night and day:
• It does exactly what I ask, not its own interpretation of it
• It doesn't stop halfway to ask "should I continue?"
• It's fast. Really fast.
• It keeps the whole project in its head
It has cut my development time dramatically. 94% of my AI usage these 9 days went to Claude, and I didn't plan that. It just kept winning.
And the limits? For $100 a month, this isn't a nice-to-have. It's a must-have.
Hot take: with Opus 5.5 this good, I honestly don't know when I'd reach for Fable 5.1.
Which means Fable 5.5 is going to be absolutely wild. 👀
Whoever worked on this model at @AnthropicAI: you cooked. Seriously.
P.S. @claudeai, I'm probably one of your most loyal token burners by now. If you ever need someone to stress-test the next model, I'm ready 🙋♂️

how to claim $4000 credits for $0
gmail gets rejected they want your own domain and matching work email
domain is ~$10. email is free. one site, three more applications
> buy the domain + get the email
- grab a .com on cloudflare domains (~$10)
- turn on whois privacy
- set up free email (zoho free works)
- add mx/spf/dkim
- create [email protected]
- make a simple 1 page site that loads and explains what you actually build
> google cloud start tier = $2,000
> go to: https://t.co/mIIkxXBQXS
- founded in last 24 months
- working mvp + clear business model
- planning to seek vc
- website domain, email domain, and billing account email must all match
- have your 18 character billing account id ready
- 12 months. a few business days (longer if manual)
> aws activate founders = $1,000 (select up to $5k)
> go to: https://t.co/5vxGaHJCcG
- self funded, pre series b, founded last 10 years
- make a builder id with your professional email
- link an aws account on the paid plan (free tier doesn’t qualify)
- they ask about product, funding stage, company profile
- 5 - 10 business days
> deepgram = $1,000 starter (up to $100k possible)
> go to: https://t.co/r682B4cXWo
- live or launching within 6 months
- make a deepgram account first
- keep your project id handy
- ~1 week review, then 24 - 48 hrs to land
- 12 months
> extra ones worth stacking
- azure self serve: $1k now + $4k after business verification (new azure account)
- cloudflare for startups: bootstrapped tier still exists (~$5–10k range)
- oracle for startups: $500 + 70% off for 2 years
- claude for startups: open to bootstrapped, but the free team + $1k credits are currently over capacity
> things you need to know
- 2k + 1k + 1k = $4k base. azure can push it higher
- google is discretionary. no agencies, consultancies, personal blogs, crypto mining, or token projects against local rules
- aws: count on the $1k. the extra up to $5k is select only
- credits expire. google + deepgram are 12 months. aws dates show in billing
> what not to do
- don’t apply from gmail or free email
- don’t fake a company or park a domain with no site
- don’t apply as an agency, dev shop, or consultancy
- apply != approved. these are for real products, build real products
one domain. matching work email. working site. stack the rest
bookmark this. terms change often. read each page before you apply. good luck.
We’ve shipped Claude-powered voice summaries in Omut.
Omut is a native messaging app for iPhone, iPad and Mac that brings Telegram, WhatsApp and Omut into one app.
Long voice notes can now be summarized with Claude Haiku 5.5 — transcription happens on-device, Claude receives only the transcript, and summaries are cached per message/language.
Built by one founder in Tokyo.
77% of our commits were co-authored with Claude Code.

Launching on Product Hunt Oct 13.
@OpenBot_ Hi! I'd like to add Russian (ru) — full catalog incl. mobile, following docs/i18n.md with proper plural forms (one/few/many). I'll send a PR — any objections or someone already on it?
Thanks! I'd be happy to do the Russian translation myself and send a PR — I'm a native speaker and already use OpenMausBot daily. I'd follow docs/localization.md (src/locales/ru.json + i18n:check) and also cover the iOS app if its strings live in the repo. Is that OK with you, or is someone already on it?
