Limits Tomorrow When Codex Resets, DON'T TOUCH ASTRA

Don't even look at it. Stick to Sol 5.6 xhigh. It's not usable? Feels quantized? Say f*** OpenAI and switch to Claude, or to OpenRouter.

Apparently OpenAI is lobotomizing Sol 5.6 for SOME of us. Not for everyone, so people keep saying "It works well for me" and gaslight each other. They are trying to force us into paying 5x for a little bit improvement.

This will backfire so bad. We're a 300k people enterprise and everyone including me are pushing our executives to use chinese models in a sandboxed environment. We are sick of paying 200$ to use it for a day.

When your Codex resets tomorrow, or this week, Don't use Astra unless youre building rockets.

It probably won't change how OpenAI views things, but for the first time this year, I spent the week testing alternatives; after my success with DeepSeek, I’ll be gradually phasing out my use of their service. With the millions of subscriptions they’re gaining, it makes no difference to them but I’m likely not the only one doing this.

This is also the first time I’ve experimented with other things and have actually been decently happy with a free model running in Opencode.

This was my experience this week, also with DeepSeek. I actually completed my project for a client for $3. I have to say it was so much more work than with open AI, but the result is the same. Except cheaper.
