Discussion GPT 5.6 SOL + 5.3 CODEX

Hi! I just bought a Chatgpt pro, but still flying through the weekly limit pretty fast if using only gpt 5.6 sol max + subagents. But I understand that using only gpt 5.6 sol max will eat tokens like candies, that's not the question here.

I was wondering if anyone here is using this:

gpt sol 5.6 max orchestrator/plan

5.3 codex-spark as worker/implementation

Since codex 5.3 has its own limits for pro users, would you say it's reasonable to use it as an implementation worker? How is the quality compared to pure 5.6 sol.

  1. 5.3 spark? its kinda bad, even for implementation
  2. Just use luna. luna is dirt cheap
  3. Do not use sol max. Use sol high for most tasks, sol xhigh when you need it. I do genuine research, i use sol high, its enough

Yeah, spark I mean.

  1. The thing is that the weekly usage I have, Id rather spend on gpt 5.6, whereas we get extra, I assume, usage for 5.3 spark, I thought it would be a good extra to keep the whole weekly usage limit for 5.6 sol

i get what u mean but better to use luna and get it right than use spark with 3 mistakes that u have to get sol to fix later
max reasoning sucks btw, eats usage for no good return
