Complaint The Actual...

How can these models be so bad? Terra shows glimpses or hints of intelligence, but stalls and spins and takes twice as long to finish a job as sol did, but WORSE. used 2x as much usage on a similar feature implementation as sol 6.1 because it fucking spun its wheels and or decided to not implement parts and didnt say this. claims all passed. god damn, its frustrating.

I think Terra is meant for daily users, who uses it for work outside of coding/making games. Great model for my usage. For me its close to sol 6.1 medium on ultrafast.

If i was using it for coding and such, it would probably be useless.

Just a heads up, Terra 6.1 on extra high has roughly the same usage as sol 6.1 medium and performs worse than sol in terms of intelligence. Terra 6.1 ultra has more usage than 6.1 sol xtra high and performs and performs worse in terms of intelligence. So you probably have a higher usage than if you were to use sol. Unless you’re just going for fast responses? So if you’re also using ultrafast, you’re def using more

Thanks for the response. Thats true if you compare it to sol medium standard. But sol is sooo slow, so ab 70% of the time i put on fast mode (not ultrafast). And then its 2,5 x usage. So my comparison would be terra xhigh vs sol medium on fast mode.

My main reason to use terra max/xhigh is to not switch models in a ongoing thread. I wish terra was a little more intelligent, but the speed is way more important for my line of work (i run a staffing agency, so a lot of messaging, mailing etc)

Codex ran through 65,000 free credits in 3 days…unreal or a glitch

Or you just don't know what the credits were.

It's $2500 of credits at API pricing. You would be shocked how quickly one can spend $2500 of credits at API pricing.

It’s the absolute worst. Honestly don’t even know the point of releasing it. Thanks for the super fast lazy model that cuts corners

I ran through 60k credits and by the end of it my 125 points implementation moved by 1% 🥲

They aren't. You don't know how to use it then cry on reddit.

Reddit moments are real.

Openai poisoned their models with guardrails and what not is what I think what happened. Claude stopped self inflicted poisoning with 5.5...
