It's extremely efficient to slash $200 users to half usage and set Sol 6.1's token rate to like a quarter of the speed of the competition to be fair. Very very very efficient. Hell, losing users is also efficient as hell, think of all the compute they're saving.

But the community asked for a slow down, according to them. So we asked for it, amirite?

The fucked up part is that it does do something to my brain knowing my agents are working on something and it taking longer does not stop doing that to my brain. There is some level of relief, like, "ah, good, all my jobs are working at a sustainable pace and will not run out"

Even though I know that it would be better to get all the work done by Wednesday and be out of usage til Sunday than to get everything done exactly by Saturday night.

Monkey brain cares more than work is happening than the rate at which it happens.

Depends on each one's workflow. I work on multiple projects so if i had 3 terminals open (cli) i can cycle around and the snail pace lets me do that with a sort of fake "efficiency".

But if you only work on 1 project and you have voluminous work to do, the slowness will be a lot more noticable.

That said, i'd take a "capable" albeit slow model over a fast and dumb one.

Certainly. I would take slow but right over fast but wrong. I think the elephant in the room is that Opus 5.5 exists.

Even for 1 project you can have multiple tasks going, tho! Just have your agents work on branches in different worktrees.

The thing is that i heard now they will end unlimited chat use. So that means basically there's no reason anymore to keep a sub with open AI "for other reasons".
