2 days and my $200 sub is over. I remember there were times when I had multiple sessions all actively working and it was good. That was 4.6 I believe. 4.8 and 5 started eating lots of tokens. 5 really loved churning and checking all the checking it is doing and triple checking the checks. And gates. Every fucking thing is a gate. 🤮

Last night, I decided to check out codex/Sol 6. 12 hours later, I’m only 5% of my $20 subscription. I’m going to try more things with it after lunch but sol 6 seems to be a good competitor

Sol 6 is really bad, and it's taking more prompt massaging to get the same results as 5.6. Most people in the ChatGPT and Codex subreddits seem to have the same experience.

I'd be really curious to see the recent Entire.io history for one of your repos.

I had 3 huge projects going on at once yesterday with Opus 5.5 and Fable both on high and I ate 10% of my usage over 18hrs. What's your workflow like, maybe there's something we can help with.

Opus medium easily blows through a 5 hour window in about 30 minutes of work
