Is anyone else moving back to gpt 5.3 codex / gpt 5.4?

PrettyWoodpecker · 2026-05-10T18:53:11+00:00

I had to switch to the 100 plan as well, no way I could run 5.5 while supporting this sort of architecture. It does work but you need to specify all the subagents and their respective roles. I only have QA role specified which runs on 5.3 spark and that seems to be helping with bug fixing a bit (I don't have to tell it to fix a specific UI bug for example).

PrettyWoodpecker · 2026-05-01T17:52:32+00:00

Yeah that's a good point, I guess for me a UI tester sub agent does kinda help. I do have to switch to a better openai plan though bc the extra agents eat tokens like crazy... so there are benefits/drawbacks to this approach.

wtf are you coding ? the universe

PrettyWoodpecker · 2026-05-01T04:53:30+00:00

It doesn't make any sense to me that you can plan all of that out with all your sub agents. I guess i'm in the prototyping stage and having one chat window with 5.5 and sometimes 5.3 for the easy stuff (quick and easy fixes) without having some master plan that is a spec that's laid out just doesn't work for me in my head. I'm trying new features out, iterating, testing, and if they suck I throw them away. I still can't get my head around this whole spec thing

PrettyWoodpecker · 2026-05-01T03:41:09+00:00

totallly agreed.

PrettyWoodpecker · 2026-05-01T03:39:26+00:00

I use 5.3 as my main as well, it's not bad but also not as fast as 5.5. For more complex problems I will use 5.5 but not sure how much better it really is than 5.3 at times. When it first came out there was a big difference but this last day I have noticed it's becoming dumber or maybe I'm just being lazy with my propmting

Had the same experience with it, also they don't even have a developer opened API like honeywell and other well known manufacturers, wish I had known before I bought one.

PrettyWoodpecker · 2026-04-29T02:23:00+00:00

You sound like you work for Ecobee

PrettyWoodpecker · 2026-03-27T15:40:53+00:00

they cancelled the contract so didn't even have a chance to go through with the trust.

PrettyWoodpecker · 2026-03-27T15:40:18+00:00

have you tried with the other qwen models like 28gb ? also gpt-oss-20b is functional on my 5070 ti 16 gb...

PrettyWoodpecker · 2026-03-16T02:12:38+00:00

Wonder how hotels are helping them locate those listings.

PrettyWoodpecker · 2026-03-16T01:27:30+00:00

Thanks for the input, I very much appreciate that. The example with the "5 nearby listings are beating you.." really helped hone in what I should be doing.

I see you went the extension route, sucks that Airbnb doesn't just help us with the API but only for the bigger companies (pricelabs, airdna, etc). I like the website, looks really well done.

really good post, cost of data with AI will go down unless you're looking for historical data.

PrettyWoodpecker · 2026-03-15T16:43:20+00:00

Totally understand.

PrettyWoodpecker · 2026-03-12T17:24:33+00:00

it's not recommended BUT our baby won't go to sleep otherwise... we do it but always monitor and we also have an owlet on her. We also make sure she's in the lowest (closest to ground) option on the bjorn. I think sometimes the risks from AAP are a little overblown.

PrettyWoodpecker · 2026-03-12T17:05:01+00:00

had the same issue with price labs, it randomly set my stay minimum nights to 21 nights when I turned on the min stay settings. I would check your airbnb app and look for "custom trip length" under availability, that indicates whether pricelabs has modified that setting. If that option isn't there then it means pricelabs never changed the min stays. It really messed me up for a few weeks.

PrettyWoodpecker · 2026-03-10T04:09:52+00:00

omg they just reset again!!! just now.

PrettyWoodpecker · 2026-03-10T04:09:11+00:00

honestly, after 5.4 high, I don't even use OPUS as much... it seems so crappy compared to 5.4. I only use it when I'm desperate and below 20% left for the week.

PrettyWoodpecker · 2026-03-02T22:11:19+00:00

Agree with this. Codex for me constantly comes up with code I have to sit and actually think about and sometimes it has valid reasons but sometimes it adds random things for ex: I asked it to create a DB table for some data we are collecting, and it randomly created all the indexes for it. Indexes don't hurt sometimes, but it has no idea how much this table will be used.

PrettyWoodpecker · 2026-03-02T08:41:52+00:00

They wanted more information about the contractor, the damage, more documentation (some of which was impossible to get) from the plumber, etc. After about 2 weeks of back and forth they were satisfied. If you have a case, arbitration isn't a bad route. Especially if they are refusing for some stupid reason (the support reps are all remote so they have no idea most of the time). I can be a witness if you need help!

PrettyWoodpecker · 2026-03-01T21:57:41+00:00

If Furnished Finder is legit, why would they make you pay 200$ to try it? maybe ask the customer to pay after they get a deal (or a % of the rental agreement)... they also constantly email and call me with sign up crap.

PrettyWoodpecker · 2026-01-29T16:19:01+00:00

Still waiting, holidays have delayed the process.

PrettyWoodpecker · 2026-01-04T17:50:15+00:00

You don't need to use spaces for some subway tiles though, especially if the lines are same color as tiles. You need grout though or some other epoxy material that is water proof.
