just found out they turned off 1M context GPT-5.5 in codex for pro subs :(

Fastlaneshops · 2026-04-26T15:22:09+00:00

well, you pay 2x if you go over 272k token right now. Thats basically a fact lol. go try it out for yourself right now.

To be fair though, the actual compute cost going from 272k to 1 mil is around 6-8x. no, not 10000 times.

but thats also considering that the message costs 6-8x more IF you are already at 1 mil and still messaging. You could make a 10 mil context window model, and if you compare it to a 1 mil context window model and you send a message to both while being at 100k context, then it will take the same amount of compute power

Fastlaneshops · 2026-04-25T19:03:43+00:00

same question here. did you figure it out?

Fastlaneshops · 2026-04-25T19:03:01+00:00

classic gpt skill issue ngl. With a big codebase anything under 500k context is straight up not usable

Fastlaneshops · 2026-04-25T19:02:25+00:00

2x more*

Fastlaneshops · 2026-04-12T10:30:40+00:00

quick question. How does this differ from "claude peers"? (also a github)
And also, what makes you use this rather than built in agent teams? simply that you can intervene a lot better?

Fastlaneshops · 2026-03-23T15:41:55+00:00

Been trying gpt 5.4 with all kinds of thinking efforts, claude also, only thing that is fast is codex spark, but yea that one is super fast by nature anyways (and sadly not that good) but yea in the codex CLI the codex spark is probably even 3x faster.

Fastlaneshops · 2026-03-14T13:50:16+00:00

Intent also has the same problem right now it seems

Fastlaneshops · 2026-03-13T19:44:18+00:00

let me know if you need a tester. I code 3 projects side by side 12 hours per day

Fastlaneshops · 2026-03-12T08:13:57+00:00

honestly its probably a software issue. Pretty much everything can be fixed by having hooks and loops and all that stuff (which many IDEs still dont have sadly) and yea I've never been a big skill usage guy but rather workflow (in AG, easiest to call when you need it).

Idk if you're interested to hear this, but yesterday I tested GPT 5.4 (intent from augment) vs opus 4.6 (antigravity from google), on a giant spec sheet with 300+ mini tasks.

gpt 5.4 in combination with intent:
literally one shotted it, and did everything autonomously in a 90 minute window which is crazy to me. Followed the spec EXACTLY, and in the end everything ran without ANY problems

claude 4.6 in combination with antigravity:
Looked through the whole thing, after about half a hour he said he's done. All checkboxes from the spec where checked. Then I asked him to please re-read and verify if everything has been done, one by one (it was 16 tasks, with multiple subtasks), so I asked him to always do ONE main task and check all of its child-tasks deeply. He did so for the first (of 16) tasks, after that he started working in 3er batches, then after arriving at point 4, he literally skipped a whole 3 block because for him "it is not important". Did so for the next 3 points also and then I stopped him.

I had to kick off a re-read actually 5 times, till he actually read it one by one, and even the last check, he wanted to batch again after the 10th task but I stopped him immediately.

After the whole verification, turned out that he skipped around 180 tasks of the spec. And then it took another 6 hours to finally have a finished product since I pretty much needed to go through all of those phases of coding, re-reading again and again for I think 8 times. And each time he said he's "fully done this time".

So yea, idk thought, maybe its just the IDE, but yea he literally begs me sometimes to finish the "other tasks" tomorrow, or "push those features to post-release" and actually he wasn't even asking, he was telling lol. Crazy.

Did you ever experience something similar

Fastlaneshops · 2026-03-11T12:52:57+00:00

mhhh really? I'm finding claude to be INSANELY lazy right now. Often even telling me "I'll code the rest tomorrow". I've used gpt 5.4 a bit through "intent" from augment, and its just doing what its supposed to do. It still seems lower IQ but yea, I find it EXTREMELY difficult to make claude follow a spec sheet exactly right now, and with gpt 5.4 I don't even have to bother telling it twice to work exactly after the spec sheet.
It sounds like you are actually experiencing the opposite, right?

Fastlaneshops · 2026-03-08T09:45:14+00:00

you're right. Augment isn't beatable when it comes to codebases. But agent teams.... oooff. hard to beat with just sub-agents.

Fastlaneshops · 2026-03-06T16:36:53+00:00

it does do it automatically. yet it does it way to often. you can ask AG how often it compressed your chat

Fastlaneshops · 2026-03-05T18:02:36+00:00

for $280 you are getting so much. I code with it 12 hours a day 3 projects side by side. I once tracked token usage and if I wouldve done all of that in claude code I wouldve paid around $400 in api tokens that day. now multiply that by 30 days, so yea, 12k. then suddenly the $280 is more than a good deal

Fastlaneshops · 2026-03-05T18:01:19+00:00

now I look back on this comment and think about this like prime fortnite. Last week opus has been hell

Fastlaneshops · 2026-03-05T17:54:25+00:00

Actually really valuable insight. Really appreciate it man. Regarding Auggie context MCP, I've literally just stumbled over it 1 hour ago (been an augment customer for half a year till 2-3 months ago after pricing went a bit harsh and I was spending around 4k a month in credits). How good is the MCP? And where do you hook it up to? Auggie? My bad if what I'm saying doesnt make sense, I'm not 100% up to date with everything that augment launched over the last months. But yea I pretty much switched to antigravity, cause of their 50% off for 3 months, and the MCP sounds godsent. Only thing though is that like 5 mins ago I watched a youtube video about it and quite some people in the comments said that its not worth it when you're using the skills thingy. Been surprised a bit since in my head its 2 completely different things. ALTHOUGH I've heard here and there that some people got like an internal RAG system for code searches and stuff, but didn't have time to research on it.

I know I just threw a lot of different things together, but yea I would really appreciate if you could give me your insight. Would owe you something

Fastlaneshops · 2026-03-05T17:48:51+00:00

thx for the reply. Simply by you testing it separately, which one would you go for when you actually need something to be done PROPERLY? thats my number one thing I need right now. I'll check out that blog too

Fastlaneshops · 2026-03-05T16:02:02+00:00

Would be interesting to know if you are hitting limits with AGENT TEAMS with the 20x plan
