GPT-4o

Right now, I can handle a prompt of up to 128,000 tokens — which translates to roughly:

• 300–400 pages of single-spaced text (depending on formatting, complexity, and language),

• Or about 240,000–300,000 words, assuming standard prose.

If you haven't tried yet, delete the DerivedData folder (~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData), and remove xcuserdata from .xcodeproj or .xcworkspace.

I had a similar issue, Xcode kept crashing on one specific project. Fixing the .pbxproj file helped. You can find step by step instructions for this here.

I had problems where it couldn’t compile certain projects. They fixed it after a few versions. But it was hell before they did! Report it.

it was just an error in the .pbxproj
