I asked Claude the token difference between Chat/Cowork and Code for the same session. It replied: Claude Code will use several times more tokens than chat for the same session. For a conversation with no file or code work, expect roughly 2x. For a session that reads and edits files, expect roughly 5-10x or more.

Cowork has had projects forever. Give me some real reasons why it’s better than co-work. Willing to make the switch but haven’t seen good evidence as to why. Maybe the usage? Not even sure about that.

Please don’t run this on your main computer. Use a VM. I see way too many people giving full access and using their main computer.

You can work on your project form you iPhone, MacBook , iMac wherever you are while code stay locally. Or you need so clouds to do that that’s the biggest advantages of the chat
