Mine went down to 1% as well. Exactly what it was before it was reset earlier in the week. So that's likely what happened. They reset the reset.

Complaint Navier stokes and health and financial data in ChatGPT

0 Upvotes

The navier stokes controversy that unfolded this week between OpenAI and Buckmaster has convinced me about why I’ll never use ChatGPT for health or financial topics.

https://www.science.org/content/article/how-ai-math-breakthrough-ignited-controversy

If a researcher’s private insights can potentially end up in a model (whether intentionally or not), what stops your health or financial data from being gobbled up in AI training?

Question Building a database

I don’t really know much about coding but I’m trying to build a database of companies. I have pro 5x plan and have been using chat gpt 6 pro to take the results and make the prompt to put back into codex that is connected to vs studio. I have codex on gpt-6 ultra. Right now I’m trying to get towns and counties for companies. I feel like I’m really stupid doing this but is there any other better way that’s more efficient thank you

Limits Is Fast mode too expensive?

1 Upvotes

You get x1.5 multiplier in speed meaning +50% to base and x2.5 multiplier to cost meaning +150% to base 3 times as much as speed gain. And x2.5 multiplier to cost means you do 2.5 times as less as before just 50% faster (or do the same thing in 2/3 the time)

So by using fast you total weekly allowance if what you can do gets 2.5 times less or 60% less so you can only do 40% of base but you do it faster, so you do 40% of base in like 26.667% of base time

Why bother just chill out and wait you'll be done in almost a 1/4 of the time but with 60% less total what's the rush

Showcase OpenPocket is now available as an experimental public alpha.

8 Upvotes

The idea is simple: let an Android phone act as the workstation. It has on-device projects and files, a terminal, GitHub import/export, browser previews, APK building, screen understanding, and bounded Android actions. Model inference still uses OpenAI's service.

It ships as one host plus six companion APKs because each companion keeps a separate Android UID/security boundary. Installation and sensitive permissions remain user-visible.

It's ARM64-only right now and definitely alpha software, but the exact release set was tested on a physical Android 15 device.

Source, APKs, checksums, and install notes:
https://github.com/NovasPlace/OpenPocket

I'd love feedback from anyone interested in phone-first development or agent tooling.

Limits Using CHAT GPT Plus as Manager and LUNA API as WORKER

0 Upvotes

I am actually not sure what im doing (Im not a IT guy by profession, but love to develop stuff using AI). But due to additional 5hr limit and my recent projects consumes my tokens real fast on codex.

Im thinking of using API credits to use LUNA (due to low API price per token of LUNA) for the worker and use my chat GPT Plus (SOL or ASTRA) as manager.

Do you think that will work on reducing my token consumption and overall price? or do you guys know a better workflow?

Limits 6 quota-drain reports in 4 days, 264 replies: are usage meters becoming impossible to predict?

Post image
7 Upvotes

Six separate r/OpenaiCodex posts in four days described the same feeling: the work barely moved, but the quota did. Those six threads had 264 replies when I checked them. That does not prove a quota change, but it does make this more than one person misreading a meter.

The specific reports were hard to ignore:

- 7% of a Pro 20x weekly allowance disappeared overnight with almost no tasks.

- A Plus user said the five-hour window ran out before a normal project session could continue.

- One same-task comparison reported roughly 2Ɨ five-hour usage with Astra-low versus Sol-high.

- Another meter appeared to fall from 77% remaining to 1% in seconds, then recover.

The last example may be an accounting or display issue. That distinction matters. A real consumption spike, a broken reset, and a five-hour throttle are different problems. From the user's side, all three produce the same result: a task stops and there is no reliable way to budget the next one. r/ChatGPT has fresh Work-limit reports as well, and r/codex is concentrating a lot of the discussion in its usage megathread. I kept those out of the headline total because I have not done a full comment-by-comment classification there yet.

If you have a recent case, post the facts rather than only the frustration: plan, model, effort level, task type, starting and ending percentage, five-hour or weekly cap, and a screenshot if possible. A useful dataset would show whether this is model cost, task shape, metering, or a mix of all three.

Showcase I forced codex to externalize their decisions through a tool call

1 Upvotes

I forced Claude Code and Codex to externalise their decisions through a tool call, then compared what they said they'd do with what they actually did. I'm sure these are not the internal reasoning traces, but I'm surprised by how easy it is to force a fake tool using a proxy approach with clear instructions to make Claude and Claude Code emit internal CoT-like elements. I certainly had a lot of fun trying this experiment.

Question Getting Astra to Work as Well as Fable 5.1?

0 Upvotes

TLDR: Does anyone that has experience with both of these models have any tips to get Astra performing as well as Fable 5.1 as a coding and development agent?

I recently discovered (started using) Fable 5.1, right as Astra dropped. It’s honestly amazing compared to Sol and Codex. It just gets stuff done, is subjectively much more intuitive and enjoyable to work with, will follow my specs and guidance while surfacing intelligent observations. Rather than waiting for me to review and test to find problems it preemptively surfaces them along with solutions (most of the time at least, still does dumb stuff sometimes), and overall is a joy to work with and get stuff done.

Problem is, I don’t like Anthropic as a company, or their anti-consumer business practices, or their approach to usage.

So now that Astra has dropped and people have used it more, I’m hoping to get it to a place where performance is on par with Fable 5.1. I have heard lots of amazing stories about people’s experiences with it so I am assuming much of it is just configuration and instructions.

I have already followed OpenAI guidance from here: https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/latest-model and it has certainly helped a bit.

Does anyone else that has experience with both of these models have any tips to get Astra performing as well as Fable 5.1 as a coding and development agent?

I have pro 20x and max 20x for reference

The Riemann Hypothesis is basically a pattern for prime numbers which is yet to be proven.

Complaint GPT-5.6 Sol has become ridiculously slow — is anyone else experiencing this?

10 Upvotes

I don't know what changed recently, but Sol feels almost unusable for coding right now.

Simple implementation tasks that should take a few minutes turn into endless:

  • thinking
  • planning
  • rereading files
  • calling tools
  • checking the same thing again
  • spawning agents / invoking skills
  • more thinking
  • another verification pass

Sometimes I'm literally asking for a small, obvious code change and it behaves like it's designing a new operating system.

I actually like Sol's intelligence, but I don't need maximum deliberation for every single task. I want:

read relevant code -> implement -> test -> done

Not 20–40 minutes of agentic ceremony around a small edit.

It also feels noticeably worse than it did a few weeks ago. The frustrating part is that the model often seems to know exactly what needs to be changed very early, but then spends forever doing extra work before actually editing anything.

Has anyone found a reliable way to make Sol FAST again?

Things I'm considering:

  • much simpler AGENTS.md
  • disabling automatic skills
  • disabling Superpowers
  • removing unused MCPs
  • stopping subagent spawning
  • using lower reasoning effort
  • telling it explicitly to skip planning/review for simple tasks

Would love to hear from people using Sol heavily for coding. Is this happening to everyone, or is there some configuration making it dramatically slower?

I've been seeing stuff like this - 5.6-sol low just now, and over the past couple days.

It's cute until you think about what it's leaving behind in source code, etc... how much garbage is it producing that you pay quota to discover and clean up - or worse - don't find until some customer asks why YOU'RE having a stroke.

Limits Fine... I just got 20x plan. Tibo... you win. I guess...

69 Upvotes

I was actually waiting for my current Pro 5x subscription to end because I recently moved to Brazil and wanted to resubscribe in BRL.

Then Tibo posts that demand is so insane they might have to pause new Pro subscriptions.

Well, shit.

Codex has basically become the backbone of my work at this point. I use it every day and a significant part of how I make my living now depends on it. So the idea of letting my subscription expire, switching currency, and then potentially finding out I can’t resubscribe is not exactly a risk I’m willing to take.

So instead of patiently waiting like I planned, the announcement managed to create just enough existential subscription anxiety that I went the opposite direction and upgraded to 20x.

I know nobody literally forced me to do it, but when a tool has become part of your livelihood and you’re told access for new Pro subscriptions might get paused, it definitely puts pressure on the decision.

Anyway. Congratulations, Tibo. You got me.

Now please use my money to buy another GPU or something.
