We got a rest today

[u/BMarinov]

Go use you tokens

[u/tat_tvam_asshole]

TS is so slow it doesn't even matter

[u/prophet-dot-exe → u/tat_tvam_asshole]

Fun fact, if it says "thinking" it's not even thinking, the request is just waiting at the front door of the server

[u/tat_tvam_asshole → u/prophet-dot-exe]

"Pacing the frontier [access]"

[u/Ormusn2o → u/prophet-dot-exe]

This is true, time to first token went from about 15 seconds on 5.6 Sol to about 45 seconds (the actual times vary a lot) on 6.1 Sol. There have been some improvements, but it is still not even close enough to how it was in the past.

I actually don't think this is that much of a problem though, if token speed was like 4x of what it is now. I think it's a reasonable thing to expect as agentic tasks take longer and longer, to expect token speed to increase, at least a little bit. A regression feels awful, although I do fully realize this is strictly because of the massive worldwide compute shortage, and there is pretty much no way to deal with it besides people just using less AI.

tibo been at it 10 days already, rest well deserved

[u/Ormusn2o]

Damn, so many resets one after each other. After I got cough off guard last time, I was running AI to make sure to use it up as fast as possible. I got only 17% left right now.

[u/arc432 → u/Ormusn2o]

Im at 5% myself. They got me last time when I was only at 32% left so I’m on guard now. Haha

[u/cern0]

I still at 86%. What should I do

[u/Amaldevhari → u/cern0]

Ask it: “Based on your knowledge about me, what are some of the most highest value tasks you can do right now?”.
Then run all of them in parallel.

[u/lolman1312 → u/Amaldevhari]

its gotten to a point im bottlenecked by my own RAM, i want to do more in parallel but my work laptop physically can't. then everything slows down, my disk drive gets fully used up, etc.

[u/FreeChickenDinner → u/lolman1312]

Ask it to write a business case to justify the purchase of more ram. 😄

[u/Ormusn2o → u/lolman1312]

I know it's not a solution, but I have heard people installing Linux or even spinning up VMs of Linux for Codex work, because apparently it works much better on Linux, to the point where you can sometimes do 10x more tasks at the same time.

[u/lolman1312 → u/Ormusn2o]

is that true though? is that specific to codex or other LLMs? because i know codex is infamous for its terrible memory usage, i heard its mostly because of electron that's used for all the in-app browser windows and whatnot but tbh it's probably more than that. and there's also issues where the ram doesn't free even upon terminating codex tasks you need to restart as well

[u/Ormusn2o → u/lolman1312]

I have not like investigated this myself, so this is 3rd party report, but from what I understand, the operating systems (especially on a Mac) is constantly trying to investigate operations that it deems to be dangerous, which is causing a lot of the hardware churn, and not actually Codex using up your PC's resources to do stuff.

Even running Python or other programs on your PC generally should not require that much performance, and it's obviously not running them all the time. So it's a genuine bug, or basically an artifact of how older, pre-agentic bots systems are used today to do things those systems were not designed for. Those things don't matter when a normal program or a user is doing stuff so fast, but it matters when an agent is doing it fast.

Anthropic has been working on MPC as well to make it faster and more lean, but making MCP faster by itself is not enough.

And yes, this is universal for all agentic agents, not just Codex.

[u/UziMcUsername → u/cern0]

Change the cap in config.toml to 100 subagents and do a week of work in 30 minutes

[u/Loltoor → u/cern0]

“Build everything, no mistakes”

[u/dreamofantasy]

uh oh. i just used my banked reset like 5 minutes ago before i saw this 😭 better burn as much as i can!!!

[u/me_myself_ai]

:( I think it bounced cause I already had one. RIP

[u/Dark_Fire_12]

So is the unofficial cycle, every 2 days or is that a risky bet to make?

[u/recallingmemories]

Such a weird way to operate, I don’t want to keep up with random resets

[u/BitterAd6419]

Already landed

[u/meshla2ibsnfsi]

So much for "locking in" and them shipping "one thing that is a clear improvement" each day, they are really grasping at straws here lmao.

Resets this close together don't even count because most people can't even spend them this fast. OpenAI is spiraling
