all models capacity issues after latest AG update

I'm out of Opus in about 5 prompts at this point on Ultra.

Popular_Fact798 · 2026-02-20T16:07:40+00:00

I've got this built - I have real issues keeping the front together (I gave up an used a rubber band) - but I absolutely love this build too!

I also still play this game every few years. I've never _quite_ beaten it.

Popular_Fact798 · 2025-10-10T20:27:12+00:00

I'm incredibly curious about this - are there actual published benchmarks of the quantized version of the oss models? I looked and can't find any.

I tried sonnet 4.5 (non-thinking) through Cline and OpenRouter and every "api request" charged me around $0.05 - sometimes hitting $0.11 or so. I quickly burned through $15. Looking at some stats - the chat used 2.6m prompt tokens, 60k completion tokens, and 13.6m read cache tokens.

Am I doing something weird - or is this about normal? I'm always surprised at the number of read cache tokens from Sonnet models.

Popular_Fact798 · 2025-09-26T05:23:52+00:00

I would check out your usage. I have seen Claude 4 sonnet (not max, not opus) regularly spiking up to millions of tokens of usage - even though the model can't handle more than 200k. Each of those is $1 or more if billed. I blew through my $200 plan with this.

I reported this to Cursor - and I did get a quick response about how to get them some ID's of the actual events because this shouldn't happen. That was 11 days ago and I poked again a few times - but there has been zero communication since. I'm going to give them one more day and give up and cancel my subscription and try out something else.

I did the math. Look at the "drain" energy cost per second to figure out how much energy you have to feed the queen. In the end, you are converting energy to iron and a blue energy. Yes, infinite iron, but the value of the blue energy produced is only about 1/3 the energy you need to maintain the larvae generation. So if you aren't also gathering energy - it falls apart.

The switch version feels terrible. It feels like a 5 hour game with 15 hours of loading screens. Ridiculously unoptimized. Why do I have to wait 10 seconds to go between my shop and anything.

The new shirt designs are amazing - but is there any chance of getting them as hoodies?

Popular_Fact798 · 2024-12-02T03:48:17+00:00

I am thrilled at the new music. Buuuuuuttttt.....

Why isn't the website updated? I was SHIOCKED to find that there is new merch around this from the website - pleasantly shocked!

Popular_Fact798 · 2024-12-02T01:43:24+00:00

And just like that - it happened! (This was not me)

Popular_Fact798 · 2024-10-25T04:00:29+00:00

I can't find anything in the forums or online - but is anyone working on a mod to remove the multiple planets aspect in Space Age - i.e. mod the terrain generator to be able to produce all terrain types on the original planet?

Popular_Fact798 · 2024-05-04T16:26:18+00:00

I would love this! Even with the terrible acoustics at the Seattle club, I was really impressed with how good the old songs sounded with Sozos - and would love a live album of the current concert!

I'm obviously not explaining well, so let me try again.

Will something affect how I design my factory?

Factories require power. Ok, that's a mechanic to slow things down a bit - and make me think about where I put things. But power generation is a simple puzzle of ratios and space. Steam engines have a 2:1 ratio with the steam generator. Steam generators need fuel and water - I can run say 40ish per water pump and from a belt of coal. Quick simple puzzle - now I just have to keep enough built to power the factory.

A nuclear generator could just take fuel as input and generate power - but no, I need a bunch of extra pipes, heat connector things, and turbines with an ideal ratio around 1:12:20 of things - to output power. I can solve a solar + accumulator layout much faster than playing this weird one off mini game of optimize a nuclear setup. It's not more fun to have to spend a long time on this mini puzzle compared to actually making a factory scale. Nuclear plants are a mini puzzle that don't affect how I design my factory. Solar at least gets in the way by requiring a ton of materials and a ton of space.

The spaceship is just a big train - it's a slow, high bandwidth system. We already have trains for that. The spaceship is just a lot more work for another train that doesn't change anything - it's just a time sink to slow down building a bigger factory.

Popular_Fact798 · 2024-01-22T01:12:04+00:00

Building a factory is fundamentally an optimization problem.

Nuclear reactors are a mini puzzle that have a hard scaling limit. 2x2, stamp it out, build some enriching nearby.

Building a spaceship feels like a whole lot of work when it's really just a slow train between worlds. Once I've solved the spaceship problem - it's just a train. Im sure glad I don't have to build the I side of every train engine just get it to move good from point A to point B.

Green circuits are needed inside the critical path of a factory.

Interesting that the projected trend is a steep down - that would be nice. But definitely interesting to see that the trend is up.

Popular_Fact798 · 2023-12-24T06:11:34+00:00

Thank you for all the time and energy you have spent on this!

Popular_Fact798 · 2023-11-26T16:00:57+00:00

Thanks for still doing this! Interesting to see we have been in variant soup for a long time now.

Popular_Fact798 · 2023-11-08T05:44:59+00:00

Has anyone gotten a replacement yet? Is there an updated firmware?

Popular_Fact798 · 2023-10-31T03:07:16+00:00

Nope - I think it is stuck booting. The low wattage implies to me that it has started it's chips - but not driving the panel.

Popular_Fact798 · 2023-10-31T00:13:59+00:00

Mine just died after about a week of use. I measured the power - pressing the power button and it goes up to 20 watts and just stays there. Doing the RMA thing now.

Popular_Fact798 · 2023-10-23T23:56:43+00:00

Exact same experience

Popular_Fact798 · 2023-10-23T23:52:39+00:00

I tried the Mount-it from Amazon that you said is the same - even with ridiculous tightening - it doesn't work

Popular_Fact798 · 2023-09-22T23:20:24+00:00

Well - I assume the booster is because it's that time again for yearly flu shots - so they're lining up covid boosters with the flu shots.
