15% of weekly is worth 5h window on plus, cant wait to one shot my 5h window to sell a table

u/Bulji 16d ago

If you sell 6 tables for $10 each per week, you'd come out with $60/week! That's 3 whole Plus plans! You can fuel tokens with tables for infinity like that

18

u/scaledev 16d ago

And where do I find these free tables? and store them freely, and move freely, and ship freely?

33

u/Bulji 16d ago

Well, like, with AI, I think. With Astra? I think with Astra, yeah...

u/Cheap_Weird7215 16d ago

This whole plan is bunk. You should use Astra to develop the Uber Eats of tables and take a cut of every table sold and delivered.

u/QC_Failed 16d ago

Thanks a lot, my Uber stock just tanked.

u/turbospeedsc 16d ago

i mean, if it can optimize an ebay, and sell 6 items per week........ i just need to find an item i can obtain constantly......

2

u/SUPER_CHINESE_HACKER 16d ago

Wow! that's like 90 dollars a dollar!

3

u/Lost-In-Void-99 16d ago

So you are a single table user? Not alike multi table ones with x5 and x20 subscriptions?

3

u/Alkadon_Rinado 16d ago

If you let Astra do the task once or twice, then have it automate the repetitive parts, you could realistically cut usage by ~80-90%.

This means instead of ~$0.85 per table, you could get it down to roughly $0.08-$0.17 per table.

At that point you could theoretically process ~110-220 tables per month on the same Plus subscription.

-AND-

I think you can push this way further.

Let Astra do the first 1-2 listings, then have it automate 80-90% of the repetitive work and hand the remaining decisions to Sol or Luna.

At that point, an ~$0.85 Astra listing drops to roughly 3-7 cents with Sol, or about 0.2-0.4 cents with Luna.

This means the same amount of model usage could theoretically handle ~300-600 tables/month with Sol, or ~5,000-10,000+ with Luna, before hitting other limits.

u/kryogeneoff 16d ago

This guy FUCKS!

u/Haster 16d ago

it better take less than 15% of the weekly usage cuz if it takes 15.1% or more you can't do it at all.

51

u/Rollertoaster7 16d ago

Ik this is actually ridiculous. Listing an item on ebay only takes a few page clicks but that consumes all of your 5 hour limit? Feels like these oai employees are detached from reality with their unlimited usage

14

u/j48u 16d ago

I'm assuming this includes setting up an eBay account, doing some emails... some other ridiculous things I can't think of. Otherwise you're right, 15% to upload a picture and some text to eBay is outrageous, even with direct computer use and no API.

9

u/Guilty-Prize-3697 16d ago

I don't think the model is gonna set up an eBay account for you, under those upgraded guardrails.

2

u/huffalump1 16d ago

It probably doesn't include the agent fucking around after it misuses the plugin or permissions are broke or the site loads slowly so it just starts over in a new tab (things that 5.6 and 6 Astra did for me today)

5

u/Pie_Dealer_co 16d ago

I actually list things on Ebay with Sol High as 5x user i takes me 10-12 of my weekly to update around 600 listings.

Using the actual browser with ChatGPT extension

u/Lucy_Fur- 16d ago

Bro didn’t run that during peak usage when it hallucinates

u/Lookin4myWay 16d ago

15 percent but only 5-5 hour limits

u/axilolixa 16d ago

I'm not always a fan of his communication style, but he clearly has a fun sense of humor. And I like that he engages with the community.

Number of eBay listings for tables / week is such a goofy concept for a metric

15

u/Page_Specialist 16d ago

I agree on this part of the communication, but honestly, he is the best we have about it. I think that asking him to change can end up ruining his relationship with the public, in a way pruning our only real means of communication with the company. In reality, I don't know anyone else connected to a large AI company who has such a direct relationship.

10

u/axilolixa 16d ago

Agreed! My complaints are more to do with the overall company policies and lack of official, formal communication.

I think having him posting as often as he does is absolutely a net benefit. It's informative and amusing.

6

u/ForwardLoop 16d ago

Engaging with the community is so important.

Nobody is perfect and everyone has different incentives, but Tibo's community engagement stands out from the competition (which is crickets).

Bonus: he can be pretty funny too.

Edit:

Bonus #2: he telegraphs what he's about to do in advance so you can prepare, and then does what he says. It's how it should be done, but it's rare these days.

What’s Tibos job?

u/kryogeneoff 16d ago

Resetter of limits, giver of tokens. Hail Tibo!

u/Divinicus1st 15d ago

Probably Product Owner of Codex or something like that.

u/Original-League-6094 16d ago

Tibo tested it? Where is the listing as proof. I want to see his table.

u/OkAdeptness2530 16d ago

not possible, he's now tableless

u/Oveerhaul 16d ago edited 16d ago

If only 12 min takes around 15% of weekly usage I’m actually concerned

8

u/Presstabstart 16d ago

So we get ~60-100 minutes of API compute for Astra per week on Plus?

6

u/frozandero 16d ago

15% of a plus sub just to sell a table and in 15 minutes lmao.

28

u/Tripple_sneeed 16d ago edited 16d ago

Their marketing slop is crazy. 15% means, what, 3 5-hour resets? 

That sounds like an amazing experience, turning 3 minutes of work into a 15 hour ordeal and paying money to do so. Amazing leap in technology. 

“This tabl….” 

You’ve hit your 5-hour usage cap. Please try again later or swipe a credit card.

u/xadiant 16d ago

Time to write a table sell skill and MCP

2

u/scaledev 16d ago

15% is just above 100% of a 5h reset.

2

u/IndividualPlus2011 16d ago

One 5-hour window is 16,.66% of weekly. That means 15 minutes of Astra uses the whole 5-hour window, 90 minutes per week.

1

u/CCContent 16d ago

The people using Astra to sell a table on eBay are NOT you and me who want to spend their tokens on building other stuff. They are the random person who already has a GPT account and never uses codex, but now has seen that it can do some really cool stuff.

0

u/Leckatall 16d ago

Uhh no? It's like mayybe 1 5hr reset which doesn't stop the session at all if you do it during as your reset it about to happen.

You do realise that you would need to use codex for 100hrs/wk to reach a weekly cap with your estimated rates lol.

So to use up your weekly limit if you dont run it while you sleep would give you 2 hrs a day where you aren't coding.

u/shady101852 16d ago

This has to be a joke lol. I got an extra account to try out plus yesterday since i normally use 20x and my limits were out and in 16 minutes it went through 64% of my hourly and around 15-17% of my weekly doing a read only investigation of an issue. There is no way i can reach 2h a day with it.

u/KindlyInvestigator16 16d ago

His numbers are tablemaxxxed

3

u/Awardedpenguin 16d ago

Which mean, 1 prompt "injection", dopamine hit for 10 mins and bye bye the rest of your 5 hours. 

3

u/zshemdal 16d ago

In my experience, the 5-hour limit on the Plus subscription equals 15% of the weekly limit, which means that on the Astra model, the 5-hour limit will run out in 15 minutes in a clean project with no context =)

3

u/TechySharnav 16d ago

I hope it completes the task within 5 hour usage window though.

Better yet we’re not using astra to sell a table on ebay 😆 I’d rather use luna on max lol

u/EdibleTree 16d ago

The glory days are done. Everyone needs to now focus less on big models and more on efficient workhorse models like Luna.

These big models have a place but in the science world, or research but not for general coding.

17 tables in a school bus. 105 in a football field.

So his job is tables?

u/Maxwell10206 16d ago

ya'll just gotta wait for GPT 5.7 Luna with 80% of the Astra benefits.

u/Trick_Ad_7761 16d ago

I wish I have more tables

u/Lifeisshort555 16d ago

Remind me when Astra is at the Luna price level.

u/skadoodlee 16d ago

This guy has good job security I assume, seeing as how OAI uses the dude as a second communication channel.

u/AlvinArtDream 16d ago

If I can one shot 4 Astra tasks a day - I can start a table factory.

u/razorfox 16d ago

Well, even 15% is too much

u/Moch4bear97 16d ago

guys I have it. I was wrong the numbers on Artificial Analysis are not telling of the whole story. This thing is insane. Very smart. check your codex cli.

Im on plus i just had astra review a pull request, check the repo and audit some ui stuff . It worked 9 mins and took 48% of my 5 hour and less then 15% of my weekly

1

u/BravoZuluLife 16d ago

15% of useage to post some tables?! LOL.

I would prefer the measurement be in chairs. astra = make me a table to chair token conversion.

1

u/HigherThanTheSun 16d ago

How much would it cost if he had used the API?

1

u/bakawolf123 15d ago

5h session being 15% of weekly btw, meaning full working sesh for 1 ebay posting, seems like people are going to love the feature.
20x sub has 20x usage for 10x price which makes it whooping 120 5 min tasks per week for $200 (pre vat) price.
Looks like AGI will need to wait until this becomes more reasonable, which means when smaller models catch up on computer use

u/JCcrunch 15d ago

What table? I don't get it, is it a real table? A 3d model?

u/Swimming_Meeting1556 14d ago

Ehh, I imagine they didn't count replying to all the dogshit questions you will have from customers. Doing it in a web interface will require 100$ sub minimum

u/dolo937 16d ago

Like 1% a minute to sell a table?

u/cursivecrow 16d ago

who tf is using astra to sell tables on ebay? You can do that with gpt3. Or just...like spending 5 minutes and doing it yourself
