THIS GUY BUILT A MANUAL SHIFTER TO SWITCH BETWEEN CLAUDE MODELS LIKE SHIFTING GEARS IN A CAR
instead of clicking through a dropdown, you use a physical gear stick to change which model youre running
it maps to a real gearbox, low gears for the light fast models, high gears for the heavy ones:
> 1st gear is haiku, the quick little runabout
> 2nd is sonnet 5, 3rd is sonnet 5 with the 1m context window for bigger jobs
> 4th is opus 4.8, and 5th is fable 5, top gear, the most powerful
> reverse just drops you back to your default model
> theres even a token usage gauge on top like a speedometer, and of course he built the whole thing with claude, for claude
its completely pointless and thats exactly why everyone (including me) loves it
its the kind of thing you make just because it would be funny to code with a stick shift
im wondering what happens if you throw it in reverse
