Opus 5, My experience so far

TLDR: Opus 5 High won against 5.6 Sol Ultra in my tests in terms of capability but my ChatGPT $100 plan still provides more value per dollar.

My test codebase is an earlier development fork of Axiom and it consists of 4 languages and 2 build systems: C, C++, Typescript and Python, CMake + internal TS transformer.

I have a list of known bugs from this fork that I have fixed in the current development branch and I had them documented by severity. The report itself is NOT present in the fork source tree or the machine I ran the tests on so agents couldn't have accessed it (unless they hacked my storage VPS protected behind SSH Keys + WireGuard + TOTP + Rosenpass).

I ran both Opus 5 High and 5.6 Sol Ultra on this fork with the same prompt "Scan the codebase and find potential interface bugs across the following boundaries: ...".

Opus 5 ran inside Claude Code for VSCode extension (menu didn't show an opus 5 option yet so I switch to it using command /model claude-opus-5, which Claude confirmed it switched to.) 5.6 Sol in ultra level ran inside Codex extension for VSCode.

Opus 5 found all of the bugs I had documented and a few more stability concerns. Which is highly impressive given these bugs took me two weeks of semi-automated and full manual testing to find out first.

5.6 Sol Ultra found a majority of the bugs but missed a few important but subtle ones. Claude certainly won here.

However Opus 5 already cranked up it's context past 90% by the time it was quarter done and was burning through tokens and consumed my 5-hour pro limit in 30 minutes and I had to use ~$30 worth of credits for the complete bug report. While 5.6 Sol Ultra only consumed 8% of my weekly max usage. (Note, to re emphasize, Claude was on pro $20 subscription and consumed the 5 HOUR limit in full + $30 credits, and Sol was on $100 ChatGPT subscription and consumed 8% of WEEKLY allowence).

I understand that comparing Pro and Max plans across vendors are not reliable but assuming a rough cost linearity, I can say even in the worst case Sol is measurably more token efficient than Opus.

WTF DID I PAY $100 FOR??

https://preview.redd.it/4qo03jtzctdh1.png?width=891&format=png&auto=webp&s=995851b5ed82641625b5e2ac82f886710a9584f8

Tf you mean "Selected model is at capacity"?? I literally just paid $100 and upgraded to max just to use Sol 5.6. What am I paying for exactly? Use your services when it is convenient for you?

My usage limit shows I have 99% remaining.

To Clarify:

I'm not asking OpenAI to prioritize me, I'm asking them to not to disrupt my workflow

When demand is high they should not just stop my work in place, instead Codex should just give me a notice "Models are busy, retrying in a bit.." and keep trying with exponential backoff. I shouldn't have to check in and manually type "continue".

MAKE A FRICKING DECISION

Wtf is this last minute Fable extension to July 19th??

ANTHROPIC, ARE WE GOING TO HAVE STABLE ACCESS TO FABLE IN OUR CC SUBSCRIPTIONS OR SHOULD WE SWITCH TO CODEX??

This game of chicken is extremely annoying. What happens on 19th? See the public pushback and re-extend Fable to 26th???

Who else cancelling on July 13th if they pull Fable

Now that we have GPT 5.6 Sol and no longer forced to be anthropic customers to get Claude level performance, are you guys thinking of cancelling your subscriptions on 13th if they really have the balls to pull Fable on 12th? I sure as hell would.

How I achieved 3.7x less memory usage than Cursor by ripping out Electron

https://preview.redd.it/0y612zicunbh1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=87a6dec2612bfe825fe475549f38b4b7b69f504b

Hey everyone,

My background is in high-performance systems architecture and low-level optimization, and recently, the memory bloat in modern AI editors has been driving me crazy (WE OBVIOUSLY CAN DO BETTER, WHY ARENT WE???)

So, I decided to build something significantly leaner and minimal. I built Axiom which uses up to 3.7x less memory than Cursor and 33% less than VSCode.

To hit this benchmark, I took VSCode OSS and stripped Electron out completely. Instead of relying on the bundled Chromium instance, I made the editor run inside LaVista (https://github.com/IASoft-PVT-LTD/LaVista).

This allowed me to drop the footprint of three idle windows down to just 759 MB, compared to the 2,802 MB you'd see in Cursor.

What I added on top:

  • AxiomAI: A Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) setup with a local autocomplete and local router system.
  • Token Management: Built-in tracking to monitor, analyze, and set hard limits on your API token usage so you never get a surprise bill.
  • FlowViz: A native visualization engine that lets you render plots, flowcharts, and fully interactive 3D scenes directly in the editor.

I am currently rolling out the beta and would love for some technical folks to try it out and try to break it.

You can check it out and register for the beta here: https://iasoft.dev/software-engineering/products/axiom/

Would def love to hear your thoughts on the native webview approach or answer any questions about the LaVista implementation!

Calling for your thoughts on a new Trains web/app for SL

Hey so I'm building a web (+ iOS/Android apps) for tracking and searching trains in Sri Lanka. I understand RDMNS exists and it provides live location and booking and all, while mine only currently lets you search trains (faster or more filtering options compared to official https://eservices.railway.gov.lk/schedule/homeAction.action?lang=en) and shows a live simulation of the train schedules.

Note I need to clarify the positions are NOT live tracking, but a live simulation where it takes the current date and current hour, minute and shows on the map where each of currently running trains should be according to the officially published schedules. Ofc trains tend to delay etc. so it won't be a precise live indication of where a given train is.

I wanted to ask what you guys think that the web/app should provide in addition to these? What features would you like to see?

Rigid C++: Calling for your opinion

Hey folks,

How do you feel about C++ 20 modules?

Do you find yourself using C++ 20 module dependencies in your projects? Do you maintain two interfaces (header + module) for the libraries you author? Or do you author new libraries with modules only interfaces?

Or are you not using modules in anyway at all (guess this is the case for majority of us)?

NOTE: All and any colorations/PRs are welcome, EXCEPT FOR AI GENERATED GARBAGE.

Hey folks,

Let me introduce Auxid: a C++20 platform/library aimed at high-performance applications (specifically game engines and systems software) built around Orthodox C++ and Data-Oriented Design (DOD).

I know the C++ ecosystem isn't short on utility libraries, but I built Auxid to bridge a specific gap: getting the predictable memory layouts and fast compile times of C-style systems programming, without losing the ergonomics of standard C++20 algorithms.

Mainstream C++ often relies on heavily templated, node-based STL containers that can thrash CPU caches or introduce hidden heap allocations. Auxid strips that back. Where the STL is already the right tool for the job (like std::filesystem), Auxid exposes it through thin, zero-overhead wrappers. For the rest, it provides DOD-friendly replacements.

Here’s a quick architectural overview of what’s inside:

  • Cache-Friendly Containers: Includes a sparse-dense hash map, strictly aligned vector types, and small-string-optimized (SSO) strings.
  • Plays Nice with <algorithm>: Auxid’s containers use iterators that satisfy C++20 iterator concepts (like contiguous iterators), meaning you can seamlessly pass them into std::sort, standard ranges, and other utilities.
  • Total Allocator Control: No surprise allocations in the hot path. Auxid integrates rpmalloc out of the box for extremely fast, thread-caching heap allocation, alongside custom arena allocators.
  • Lightweight Error Handling: Instead of exceptions, it relies on a union-based Result<T, E> and Option<T> that compile to tight representations, paired with Rust-style AU_TRY macros.
  • Explicit Control Flow: Auxid provides an opt-in CMake target (auxid_platform_standard) that strictly disables C++ exceptions (-fno-exceptions / /EHs-c-) to enforce predictable performance characteristics.

It's designed to be dropped directly into existing CMake projects via FetchContent:

FetchContent_Declare(
  auxid
  GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/I-A-S/Auxid.git
  GIT_TAG        main
)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(auxid)

If you are interested in DOD, alternative standard libraries, or just want to critique the architecture, I’d really value this community's feedback.

Licensed under Apache 2.0.

Eager to hear what you think not just about the project, but the principles of Orthodox C++ as a whole!

Hey folks,

If you're building a custom engine (well duh you're here so) and are tired of fighting the STL over memory layouts and hidden allocations. Checkout Auxid.

The core vision behind Auxid is to provide a platform for Orthodox C++ and Data-Oriented Design (DOD). Mainstream modern C++ has a lot of great features, but in game dev, we usually end up paying the price for heavy template metaprogramming, slow builds, and node-based standard containers that thrash CPU caches.

Auxid strips that back. It keeps the language close to fast, predictable, systems-style C++ while providing a lean, DOD-oriented template layer built heavily around explicit heap and arena allocation.

Here are the core features relevant to engine development:

  • Cache-Friendly Containers: Includes a sparse-dense hash map, small-string-optimized (SSO) strings, and strictly aligned vectors.
  • Total Allocator Control: Integrated rpmalloc for fast, thread-caching heap allocation, alongside custom arena allocators. Zero surprise allocations in the hot path (no <iostream>, no <vector>).
  • Lightweight, Exception-Free Error Handling: Auxid provides Rust-style union-based Result<T, E> and Option<T> types, paired with AU_TRY macros. You can link the auxid_platform_standard CMake target to enforce -fno-exceptions and keep your control flow explicit.
  • Standard-Algorithm Friendly: Unlike some custom engine libraries that reinvent the wheel, Auxid's containers use iterators that satisfy C++20 concepts. You can still use std::sort, ranges, and standard algorithms with no trouble! Where the STL already does things right (like std::filesystem), Auxid exposes it through thin, zero-overhead wrappers.

It's designed to drop trivially into existing CMake projects via FetchContent.

If you want to poke around the code or use it for your next renderer/engine project, you can check it out here:

It’s completely open-source under the Apache 2.0 license. I'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or answer any questions about the architecture
