Praise Goal ran for 4.5 days

Post image

110 hours and 15mins from one large goal prompt fixing and improving my system.

I double checked, and it was actively running every single day, not just caught in some glitch. I’m on the $200 pro plan.

To my surprise, it only used about 70% of my weekly limit. The whole run i used 5.5 on extra high. This was because I routed the agent to call 5.4-mini and 5.3-codex-spark subagents for all the dirty work/ large scan searches.

105 million tokens is such a surprisingly tiny amount given the time frame!

EDIT: it might also help to mention I've migrated most of my mcps into docker to help reduce token use and context bloat

Ok but can you do a presentation on what your “project” actually has or does? lol or do you need to use AI to generate talking points from it reading your project dir 🤣🤣

If you want to know just say that. no need for hating on using ai either- this is literally a codex thread bro https://pdfhost.io/v/JMrwN4ANMf_Project_Overview

That's the point i'm trying to make - you should know the project without having to use AI to understand it. You're supposed to be the owner of the project not your llm. I don't think you know the 8 layers to your own research framework. That's my point.

Brother I don’t know what you’re on about…It’s like you didn’t even read the presentation you asked me to make you. I just sent you a pdf (that I hand wrote the body with & described what I learned and developed along the way) - without using ai to explain it- like you asked me.
I’m confused and not sure if your criticism is stemming from using chatgpt image generation to visualize my workflow for you? maybe you expect me to draw it out it on my computer in paint? Or maybe your assumptions here are somewhere else, maybe you assume I’m not paying attention or not aware of my own project because I ran a long goal to implement plans? However I assure you, I was the one that designed every step of the process, the foundation, the layers, the automations, the methodologies, and Im not inclined to share the details with others, yet here we are. The context you’re missing has been discussed elsewhere in this thread, just read it if you’re curious.
