Coding intelligence
Composer 2.5 is the $20 workhorse
Opus-class reasoning, constrained tier
Thin distinct coding signal
Capacity reality
Large effective Composer use; Fast burns 5–6×
Five-hour windows; widely called too small for heavy Code
Shared weekly pool
Bang for the buck
Excellent
Poor for heavy coding
Thin
Best fit
Solo shippers on Composer / Auto
Lighter Claude Code use
Grok ecosystem users
What to watch
Frontier models use a separate pool
Quota is the recurring complaint
Capacity, not intelligence, dominates discussion
