Codex Resets 3 days ago

I think GPT 6 will be OpenAI's response to Fable/Mythos. There are (baseless) rumours that it will be coming fairly soon.

Eh, it doesn't hit you until it hits you.

I finally bumped into a task that Codex would refuse to work on.

Was I attempting to reverse-engineer a GPU driver? Yes. Was I trying to hack into the DoD? No.

I wasn't doing anything wrong, but that's not what OpenAI's safety mechanisms thought.

GPT-5.6 13 days ago

People work on different things, fail to mention their field of usage in the comments, and then misunderstand the experiences of others who do the same. Repeat ad nauseam.

I find that I have to tell GPT and Claude to keep asking me questions, or they will just fill in the gaps themselves (wrongly).

The $5 is so they can see if open weights models are worth using, not so they can use it for a month. (Which you can't; The quota runs out way sooner than a month for any serious usage. Still worth the price of entry.)

4.7 Flash is a small model that's almost a year old, which is ancient. And yes, your dinky GPU will not run anything worthwhile.

Just spend $5 on OpenCode Go and give GLM 5.2 a shot if you have the time. It's not quite as good as Opus, but it's more than good enough for many tasks.

Opus is so damn slow that it's forced me to work on multiple items at a time, whenever possible. Waiting for one session? Just switch to another!
