well, not only me, soo many people now vibecoded their own Excel , so now emergency break?
Companies replaced developers with AI, developers replaced companies with AI 😅😅😅
If you have anything important to do, and it needs a lot of tokens, then ... Well the time is now, looks like Open AI is removing the 20x accounts or keeping them but giving a different number of tokes for different people.
Some users on X are saying they can't upgrade the 5x to 20x and some are saying fake news.
Update: it is official, new 20x accounts are temporary suspended until Open AI has more capacity
It is good at documents, it can write long once, people say it is very good at 3d, others now say it is doing cad slop, I do not know.
All what I know, I have an app, the app needs a feature that i added in another one with gpt codex 5.3 before, and with 5.3 codex model we did the work in a day or less
With Astra, this is now week 2? and with Sol earlier? 3 weeks, the same task
Before I give up on the model and move to something else, how do you get coding features done with Astra?
I was super hyped but now, not at all
Update: I am starting a brand new web app project again to test, using Astra medium, will make sure it has an agents md that prevents qualifications and over engineering and testing until a bit later in the app, i will see how it goes
Based on the scandal this morning, looks like Open AI, when they like something, they lookup your work, codex or not, they give it to a way better model (internal) and it takes these models days to replicate it.
So, whatever you are vibecoding, there is a swarm of internal models ready to provide a better one and then take the credit for it 😥
if you have an idea, a million other people have it, but if a math phd has an idea, there is only a limited number of math professors who are likely to work on it at the same time, and then the one who works at open ai cracks it at the same day ? 😂
I don't trust any of the AI companies anymore
Looks like an upgrade is underway, new codex entries too, Astra will be GPT 6, I personally don't think it will be some magical improvement, but ... I hope it is a bit better than Sol 5.6 which I love but also drives me Crazy half of the times.
Looks like very close.
Astra finished training months ago, most of the people at Open AI or the top are very likely using it, most of them have codex and most of them have many instances and high speed tokens, so.... If it was soo good and you can spin 1000 agents, all the codex defects would have been fixed.
But they are not fixed, so, i am expecting it to be better than 5.6, but i am not sure until i test it, still, it will not be the wow.
Before codex, test cases are not that important to me, I make a few playwright tests near the end of dev, other tests in important parts that finished and not under development, and that's it!!!!\
There are a few defects here and there, then qa does its job, defects go away, we fix them, and done. the shit works.
After codex, there is code, and there are tests, and there are tests to test the tests, and there is verification, qualification, centralization, asefication, magnification, bazingafication, shitivedatchion, shit!!!
I do not want a single test shit, development now is 100% slower and there are still defects, after all this shit there are defects the same as without it, so why is all this shit!
I used GPT 3 when it was released, and it was wow, the AI now knows everything, then a few weeks latter, no, not there yet
Then the GPT 4 hype came and now AI will be doing magic , I got my own instance of GPT 4 32K context on Azure, GPT heavy duty, and a few weeks latter, no, not there yet
Then the entire 5.0 hype and 5.1 and then the 5.3 wow, and so on, and now 5.6 Sol, which is good and not that good, not a human, it is the guy who you hire and sit next to him while he is writing the code.
5.6 is an improvement from before, but not the hype, so, Astra and 6.0 will not be different. Fable mable kimi whatever, massive marketing, fast coding, not a human, not something you rely on, yet.
Some people on x are saying luna is now free on codex with no subscription, is that true
I know people ran out of usage, but it looks like, so many ran out of usage that the only one left is Codex Spark :) and even that is overused.
Tibo hinted all the weekend indirectly about a reset, and then looks like his boss did not allow it or something happened and he stopped.
Codex code now is getting modified so you can buy a reset
Resets will cost
Everyone will be given a free reset for appropriation
Some sort of a referral program when someone buys some reset you get some reset or something
3 months later, you will be buying fixed weekly plans, pay per use, current plans will fade away
At the moment everyone has discovered codex and everyone is making their new SAAS that will get them to retire early. But ....... Codex was there a year and a half ago, and any project that takes a few weeks to create it will take the competition a few weeks to make a better version of it.
So, …. A big disappointment is coming, just not sure when.
I woke up, there was a reset, I started back the 5 stopped tasks, they produced over 7,000 lines of code over 2 hours and used 15% of the usage limit.
The app is well structured to independent parts, so should not use much usage, but there we are.
I can keep up with this for another 1 to 2 weeks, can create 2 more "Pro 200$" accounts, and then that is my financial limit.
It is morning, and I am sure if I plan today’s work well, to use minimum usage, the one-week 200$ plan will finish by the end of day.
When Codex 5.3 was here, I was able to start many agents and still have weekly usage by the end of the week, but of course, 5.3 is not at the level of 5.6, but still, it produces apps, one release is in production and gaining popularity, and the next release is stuck missing tokens
Many of the “9 million” subscribers will face the issue, and then?
Open AI has a new meaningful subscription with details of how to keep the usage enough for a week
Or large number of that 9 million will go to the next provider, Kimi is about to release Kimi 3, around the Shanghai conference July 17 to 20, everyone in China is preparing releases a new AI, the Chinese President will be giving a speech in the conference, so there will be competition.
Still, I need some subscription plan and tools for me to do my work in a meaningful way, provide or extinct
Why is this guy not doing his job, where is the reset button?
When I use GPT 5.5 xHigh, I need 1 billion tokens per day, if it is a long day, and many agents, 2 billion tokens.
Sol 5.6 High, not xHight, not Ultra, 2 billion tokens if I spread the work over multiple 5-hour limits.
Reason: The goal mode is better at 5.6, and in most cases, it does the work.
Example: I had to do login infrastructure last month, took a week with GPT 5.3 and 5.5, did it, but it required a lot of prompts, and in one cases it did an “internal fallback”, GPT loves fallbacks, when it was not able to get the data but got another data, well, the “another data” belongs to “another user”
Then if you leave 5.3 alone you will notice it is sending sensitive info between the client and server and it should not be doing that, and so on, so, one week.
Now, Sol 5.6, another task, goal, and left it working, eat the entire 5 hour limit, but it solved stuff that I even did not think we should be paying attention too, it went to solve edge cases in goal mode.
That means, the half-baked stuff you can get with 5.5 in a week, can be done way better with 5.6 in a day, but … it will use the tokens for a week or half the week.
My estimates now, I need 5 billion to 10 billion tokens per day to produce very high-quality code that is well tested, the code, the playwright test cases simulating real user work, the internal verifiers, the database, the edge cases, and so on.
What are your token needs?
I am calculating that the only way to stay productive after the resets finish, is to get 5 pro accounts, that shit is producing code and working on goals, but it will drain usage quickly, and there is sooo much code waiting to be written :(
Before yesterday, you have to sit and babysit the model, even if you give it a goal, still, babysitting is needed.
Yesterday and after, way more independent, works for hours on goals.
Open AI proved that AI can now write apps not just code, the problem is, we need many subscriptions, or a new pricing model, or a new shit, not sure
Otherwise, there will be a new trend, you run the task for a day, and run out of tokens for the week.
I am not sure what is the point of the entire cursor product after Codex 5.6, I personally stopped reading the code since Codex 5.3, it works, it writes code, 5.5 made a mess a few times, now I have the proper prompts to verify and avoid, otherwise, why do you need dev env anymore?
for me is now all npm, npm run dev, npm run deploy, npm ...
