A lot of companies nowadays are AI wrappers for vibe coding. The way the business model works is that users speak to an AI chat agent in order to perform tasks and build their websites. The more tokens users spend, the more money these companies make. I have seen Claude Code function really well when used directly through Anthropic but it seemed less smart when used through these vibe coding platforms. If you think of it, it kinda controversially makes sense since these companies will make much less money if AI models are just so smart and make no mistakes and sometimes feel stupid. They probably aren’t really sabotaging the model but adding, removing context, adding their own prompts above user prompts and causing overhead. This is why I just build directly. No wrapper, no platform tax, no middleman between me and the model. submitted by /u/Ejboustany
