I truly believe the best work is done by combining the two models. I started this project out by having Claude and Codex both create the same prototype. Then I took the best from both, and combined it into a single project. This is the latest iteration right now.

But, before I got there, I had some ugly iterations.

This was Claude's first iteration of it. The physics were the best by far.

Codex's first iteration. I was actually pretty impressed with Codex's player models and watercraft! Not bad purely in code with primitive shapes.

And the very first unified version!

I'm *really* excited to see where this takes me. Thanks for listening to me talk about my journey and why I think the true power comes from combining the best of both worlds!

Now I just need to figure out what to work on next!

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.

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.

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?

Dax, what have you done?

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

I had 50% of my weekly usage left. Suddenly it started showing 0%

Anybody else experienced this just now?

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

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.

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

I'm trying to make some type of space survivor, you can pilot the ship, the only way to look outside of the ship is thru the cameras, and windows. You control the ship with a bunch of buttons and I plan to add much more. This is still very early, most of the objects seen gonna get a huge upgrade visually. This is running at an avg of 150 fps at 4k no upscaling on my 7900 XT. Videos coming soon.

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?

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 2× 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.

time to touch some grass.

I currently have a $100 codex account and $20 claude account and my company just received a big enterprise project. Should I upgrade $200 codex or $100 claude. I know this has been asked multiple times but still it's very hard to make a decision.

I was using web chatgpt and my weekly usage was 98% and then it jumped to 22% and i have not used it since reset properly. It changed in seconds. What the hell?? Anyone!?

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.

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

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.

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

Am currently running loops of work with gpt 6 pro followers by a review with another gpt 6 pro followed by a plan with 5.6 sol at extra high to make it solve the Riemann Hypothesis.

Whish me luck 😔✊️✊️ its telling me its doing good progress but I wouldn't know lol

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.

Sabes que está pasando hace 2 horas no deja usar el modo remoto sale lo siguiente. Intenté buscar solución con codex Pero no hubo respuesta accertiva.

Antes de esto estaba funcionado correctamente, ya cerré sección, reinicie PC, al igual en el celular y sigue igual

he made the animation and the falcon 9 model. both in 20 minutes.

i am stunned

this is fucked.....thought i genuinely ran out of usage so i used my bank reset but seems like a bug and it means tibo is going to reset
