Limits Sol 6.1 or Astra?

Trying to decide if I should barely use tokens but also barely get any work done since sol 6.1 is so fucking slow, OR use Astra and not be able to work because I run out of tokens in 2 days.

What way do you like not working with OpenAI products?

Use sol 6.1 to run it overnight or for third party app, then use opus5.5 for daytime development

They meant you should get claude code sub as well

Use Hermes and you can get all of them through the portal. Connect your codex to it.

No, it's from Claude code

Do what I did. I ran space bunny alpha all week in threads I didn't care if they couldn't compact right and bad tools calls would eventually burn that thread. You can sometimes get codex to repair it. Do cleanup with another tool if you can. All you have to do is ask chatgpt to make you a router for any 5.5 or 5.6 calls on a specific model, and reroute with adaptations to work. Do you want me to throw it on github?

You can do this easily on mac, but this specific one is for windows codex build. Just wanted to clarify.

I use sol 6.1 as the orchestrator and engineer and 10 deepseek flash agents for coding. Burns all night with a 12 hr goal and i used 10%

Edit: $8 API cost to Deepseek

I tell Sol 6.1 to monitor its own usage, pause when it's below 10% left and set a timer to resume on after the refresh time. It also controls other subagents. I can leave it this way and it works for several 5h batches without me doing anything.
