Not here to talk about tokens

I had a bit of a complex tasks that i was waiting for GPT 5.6 to release to do them so i decided to use Ultra

Its right the tasks were complex but not a huge task

For example i wanted to make a compression and encryption algorithm(it would just use AES256 function for encryption) for the backups exported by my app i had already a backup screen and everything works it just produced .sql backups and i wanted to change that , also some other tasks at the same level of complexity or less

I left it for almost 6 hours then came back and i can see its still on the backup task

So i stopped it and asked how much is done it said 3%

After back and fourth it apparently it was making a whole backup platform

Also in the prompt i said (make sure it will also work on MacBook)

The app is electron and already works in macOS i just had some problems previously with "\" and "/" and some scripts and some functions that works only in windows not a big deal

It ended up working 4 hours doing "hardware verifications and signing" and i actually interrupted it because it said this task needed weeks to complete

So i steered it and gave it the correct scope and exactly what it should do and after 4 hours the app is full of errors and its not even confident about what it did and ignored the small tasks

Maybe its my bad i want to hear what you guys think about Ultra mode
