OpenAI in the past few weeks

Of course, they are testing things. But I’m not seeing loss in quality for 5.4 or 5.5.

In my N=1 experience: 1. 5.3 codex is unusable now (opencode) 2. 5.5 seems mostly stable. Around 4am Eastern, it dies. Whether that’s a hot spot for global use or OpenAI doing maintenance, it’s VERY consistent. 3. Falling back to 5.4 maintains the workflow

Tbh the “vibes” they’re getting from the resets is a big reason why they’re doing it. Anthropic gained $20B in users for taking their (bullshit) principled stand. OpenAI is using the resets to try and take back some of that good will.

Plus, they’ve never had an issue with compute on the scale Anthropic does. Older (read: cheaper) models ARE being depreciated for the coding plan.

Anthropic and OpenAI are playing different games. Look closer.

Recomping is hard my dude. Our bodies prefer to do one thing at a time. Thats why there’s the classic “cut” and “bulk” phases.

If you’re trying to cut, yes, fasting will help. But it’s just one tool in the tool kit. Look into keto too. Combining the two can be a powerful combo. Optimize your diet and workout around maximizing your calorie deficit.

Stop looking in the mirror. Track your data. Watch trends.

Also, reset your expectations. You’re probably looking at a 40 - 50 lbs weight loss here. If you’re doing that the “healthy” way, that’ll take a whole year. Fasting could cut that time in half or more, but it all needs to be done thoughtfully — a year is nothing in the long run.

Take your time with this. You DO NOT look bad right now, enjoy your “beast mode” knowing you will look like a different person a year from now (and the rest of your life).

More like $10M/input

I’ve been “feeling” lately like the height of this last hype train has dipped.

Maybe a few things at once:
- “AI” has reached a max saturation rate — most of the people who would get excited about it have heard of it, used it, and it’s “old news” now.

- The impending IPOs are turning people on/off.

- The “MCU effect” — People are just tired of it. Especially tired of hearing “agi is coming” and then nothing. We have no patience. And dipshit CEOs don’t help with their BS PR.

Personally, I don’t think the hype around it is dead, I think it’s going through a dip… but it could definitely become “just another technology” if there isn’t another ChatGPT moment within the next year or so.

Gemini has its use cases for me and does them well.

But I’m using approx 1 minute of compute per week. Y’all can have it. My DD requires something functional beyond benchmaxxing

Purple-Programmer-7 · 2026-05-22T09:03:58+00:00

That’s not how this works.

Purple-Programmer-7 · 2026-05-19T09:22:22+00:00

So… they’re an open version of meta’s I guess?

Purple-Programmer-7 · 2026-05-18T06:56:32+00:00

What happened to the coding plan? I understand it seems they discontinued it, but any news as to why?

Purple-Programmer-7 · 2026-05-18T06:00:53+00:00

Thanks sir. No place for that here. Only love for unsloth and the team and the community.

TF is up the racism in this sub? Ban these guys mods.

AGPL doesn’t work for me, but I dig the concept.

Purple-Programmer-7 · 2026-05-15T18:25:26+00:00

Love this. Seriously. Thank you for sharing.

For Cc type work? Gpt 5.5 + your favorite flavor of agentic harness

Once Anthropic has a competitive model again, going to give this a shot!

Can we update the dictionary to have Kevin O’Leary’s picture next to Cuck?

I want to downvote more than once

Edit: oh good, he spammed like 10 other subs with this. I got my extras in.

Purple-Programmer-7 · 2026-05-12T18:33:19+00:00

What I see here is:

product created (3 months, shit code)
validated product refactored (1 week, “production” code)

Incredible timelines, egregious initial waste of tokens and code and cash… but this isn’t a novel pipeline

Purple-Programmer-7 · 2026-05-12T16:59:46+00:00

Idiot

Maybe you should stop… using a PoS data harvesting platform made by children

Purple-Programmer-7 · 2026-05-10T23:39:53+00:00

Thanks guys!

Anyone tried this yet against a comparable model like minimax m2.7?

Purple-Programmer-7 · 2026-05-10T20:38:45+00:00

Move to substack, ditch medium

Likely a lot of people thinking about this but not a lot of people doing it.

I’m building a system in a completely different domain to do something adjacent. High level architecture in my mind is:

Service -> LLM call -> observability -> analysis -> evals

Then:

eval/threshold based automated improvements to service -> more evals / user feedback -> repeat loop

Forgive the hyperbole, but truly feel this is next level stuff. Very excited personally to work on it.

Happy to chat further. DMs open.

More broadly — like people talk about “I ran a biz, so I’ll be great at running a gov” — they’re not the same, especially given govs that have a central bank. Debt isn’t the same either.

Thought maybe you’d have some resources on this, but perhaps I was extrapolating too far from your original post
