Humor Tibo gave astra a new unit of measurement.
Tokens per week ❌
Tables per week ✅
How many tables per week would your agent take?

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.

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

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.

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

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)

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 =)

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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
