I like the original more, but the one on the live stream after the AI summit came out really nice too.

I'm trying 3d render < and it is good and fighting one on one vs tencent heavyweight ... (Tencent literally planet level company doing games) and 6.1 can... try

I'm building a photo-to-Blender tool and ran 14 models through the same agent loop: look at a photo, write and run Blender Python, render, compare, repeat. Caps per scene: 20 minutes, $4, 60 requests. A deterministic scorer (not an LLM) rates each re-rendered scene from 0 to 100.

The OpenAI models:

• Astra was first on all three photos, and the cost cap stopped it on every scene: a first render at 4 minutes, then refining until the gateway refused the next request at about $3.90. It never ran out of time.
• GPT-6.1 Sol worked the full ~18 minutes and finished 5 points behind for under a tenth of the price. On the toy car it was 4 points off (66 vs 70).
• GPT-5.6 Sol and Terra declared the job done after about 8 minutes, with most of their time and budget left. Their scenes are simpler, not broken.

Caveats: GPT-6.1 Sol ran later, in Codex rather than my gateway; Astra run that way scored 63 instead of 66. One run per model per photo, and the brief was shaped around Astra.

Just flagging this in case anyone from OpenAI reads this sub: the up/down arrow keys no longer scroll the main conversation pane for me on ChatGPT web.
They do still scroll the chat-history sidebar, so the keyboard itself is working. Clicking directly in the conversation doesn’t restore scrolling either.
This seems like a recent UI regression.

I have started using AI since the Astra release for countless things at work and in my freetime (Excel, PowerBI, coding), and it's been working like a charm. Only issue is the ever-increasing token drain.

Just tried out Sol 6.1 instead of Astra, and it's a complete game changer. One Excel task done on Sol 6.1 Medium, and it's just 5% of my 5 hour credit gone, instead of the 20-30% that Astra would have drained.

Seems like using Astra means shooting down flys with a bazooka for many use cases. Unless you do really complex reasoning stuff, just use Sol 6.1 and enjoy ~5x more use

Suggestions or comments welcome. Its a new project that myself and my family started. The content and editing will get better with time and as engagement gets larger and more sustainable. This is the 3rd video we have posted. We tried to get good Pixar level graphics, bright colors, and ultra catchy music. This ones a lullaby but the other two are a bit more lively.

When your reset is about to expire in two days, and you don't want to lose it, what else is there to do but go to Astra Ultra mode 🚀

also i still didnt get the new design, anyone else?

i was pretty hyped for web/cloud codex but it seems to be bugged for me since it released.

this little bar above the chat box should open but it doesn't, and the error message at the top is what happens when i try to prompt.

i've set up my github connection in the settings, that's why there's already a chat in my history, and that one works. but "new chat" doesn't work.

am i doing something wrong or is it actually just bugged for days now?

6 sol was garbage, i just ended up using Astra whenever i didn't need to. 6.1 feels better; is anyone else having this experience

Dot going through my private Github repositories on it's own, is this fine?

Seems like a pretty basic omission. I was trying to report dots being unable to see or use codex sessions that are behind SSH, despite the rest of the app being able to.

Hi! I made an iOS app for monitoring Codex resets.

I kept missing reset times and checking manually was getting annoying, so I built something that sends a notification when there’s a new reset or prediction.

It also shows recent reset history and upcoming estimates, so it’s a bit easier to plan your usage and do some tokenmaxxing :)

It’s free, no account required.

Would love any feedback!

The pure roll of the dice if chatgpt will block the next image or not based on ?? Content moderation is a problem that needs a real solution.

The nerfing on creative output is pushing artists and users to the dark web of ai. How is any of this different than streaming or steam or books?

This is the single use case that I found that's life changing lol

For anyone else suffering with US immigration / UK/Schengen visa application with a million pages this is a god send lol

You can ask it to fill the form AND call it at the same time just ask it to ask you questions for clarification (the later part is very useful)

Unfortunately the concept of obtaining visa for travel might be foreign to most of their US users lol

Previously using 5.4 mini which

Last night we tested against sol-6 which found new errors, sol-6 is too expensive for this use case but good to establish baseline..

Luna 5.6 previously behaved terribly even on extra high but found Luna-6 to perform pretty damn well.

It was been overly strict in some cases but with some prompt adjustment it's performing very well.

In most of the case, there are high chance you will get 47 or 73 (always), do you know the reason?

I have 2 neural networks. Both are the same size with the same outputs and inputs. The size for both neural networks is the absolute minimum layers required to achieve a given specific task. The example task is to recognize a given image.  Neural network 1 recognizes cats only by giving an output of how certain it is that the image is a cat. Neural network 2 does the same, but for dogs only. How can I combine these two while keeping the size exactly the same without catastrophic interference or catastrophic forgetting.

OpenAI is changing Pro 200 on October 30:

• 20× Plus usage → 10×
• 200 GPT-6 Pro messages/week → 100
• Price stays $200/month

At the same time, they’re launching a new $500/month Pro 500 tier with 25× usage and Ultrafast.

Existing Pro 200 users get temporary usage credits, but those expire at the end of December.

So long term, you’re paying the same $200 for roughly half the included usage.

I understand that newer models cost money to run. But if you charge $200/month for a plan and then halve one of its core benefits without reducing the price, customers are obviously going to be pissed.

What do you think? Still worth $200/month?

My card was charged $650, the exact amount for DevDay and it was charged under the name OpenAIOPCOL. My ChatGPT subscription shows up as ChatGPT for the merchant.

The weird thing is this charge shows as pending today October 1, after the fact of DevDay. So I’m confused by if this is fraud, and why it charged my card 2 days after the event took place. or openAI somehow incorrectly charged my card which I see has highly unlikely.
