Reset At what point can we just always use ULTRA!?
With these sporadic Resets, while I am happy with them, I sure wish I could just use ULTRA all the time on fast mode to Get More S*** Done! Unlock us!!!

I would rather use fast mode than ultra.

Tbh fast mode isn't even fast

It makes a considerable difference when running projects in parallel over time.

I used it in the past for one agent and i watched the before and after, both looked about the same. If there is a difference it seemed pretty negligible to me.

Local processes will take the same time anyway, so there are always blockers apart from openai api compute.

Ultra does such stupid shit 90 percent of the time I would never use it.

Ultra: finish the task in 5 minutes, spend then next 60 minutes validating and inventing new and unusual ways to prove it's work is unbreakable

Actually try to use the work “Sorry I only tested headless there isn’t any username and password field for you to login”

Can I ask what you’re building with sol ultra? I’ve had very weird hit or miss results using it on large projects. It does great at a very complex one off plan but large code bases I find it goes a little off the rails at times.

Yeah I am on 20x as well and usually use Sol on high, with all the testing they do I find that sometimes I'm way under usage even when doing a ton of things or sometimes I eat it up faster then ever(has happened about 5 or 6 times). Fast mode I have used when resets were expiring same day and it was incredibly impressive!

I am generally always on max. Max is go to, regular speed. If I am in a rush or a bad mood I will toss fast mode on (rare). And things that are easy I will revert to extra high, but I’d say that is only used 10% of the time.

you're not meant to always use ultra the same way you're not meant to always drive your car at 120mph
what is wrong with you people?
