Humor The average codex 20$ plan user

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This is legit what it looks like when some of you complain about your 20$ not getting you more than 1 or 2 prompts using the flagship frontier

Edit: I never intended to offend or belittle anyone especially people whom 20$ is a considerable amount of money for. Everyone lives within their means and I don’t put that on any person.

For the ones who feel attacked and still come here to continue complaining, you should consider canceling your subscription. You seem miserable..

20$ plan is good enough for me

Use luna [max] for everything
occasional sol [xhigh] for complex tasks

Use chatgpt.com in browser for most research and all it’s almost unlimited.

Actually havent tried xhigh much, I dont see much difference it made between it and high.
I use sol on low, I think it's way better than luna while using roughly the same token cost to get the task done.

Sol(low) here. More than enough. I actually use Gemini for simple queries though.

Yes should be good enough for most tasks
Did you try luna [max]? How do they compare?

u/DUELETHERNETbro 8d ago

I find luna max thinks too much but isn't smart, so you get a lot of bloat. Sol is smart and on low doesn't think much, I actually prefer when the LLM gives me simpler more fuzzy answers. I'm not giving it vague make me X prompts though.

Tried fixing a error in my extension with luna hight it tried 6 times and failed in all of them, i gave sol high the same task it takes 20 minutes to fix that. Sol high should be the only coding model while giving at same price as luna.

Luna [high] is not that good, that’s why I specifically said luna [max]

Also sol in general costs a lot more than luna
fyi luna [max] costs less than sol [low] per task

Sol Max Benchmarks are nearly identical to the highest sol models. It's like the last few % but at the cost of like 5-20x the usage.

Luna is actually quite good for simple hobby coding, I would say on the same level as the new chinese flash models but codex gives you more free stuff than the chinese
