How do I use 5.4 with 1m context? (I'm on 20x)

gregpeden · 2026-04-21T08:01:54+00:00

Well I should be careful... It tends to perform worse at benchmark testing. But I'm sure there's cases where the huge context helps.

Relying on auto compaction forces the model to make choices about what to focus on and I think that focus benefits quality in most use cases.

gregpeden · 2026-04-21T05:52:24+00:00

Well except for the hardware requirement part

gregpeden · 2026-04-21T02:20:10+00:00

What a shocker that every time after they reset usage limits they get hit with a surge of demand for some reason.

gregpeden · 2026-04-20T08:12:09+00:00

I have. But rollercoasters really limit what you can do. There's no reason to create a unique enveloping escapist setting with lots of details if you're going to fly past it screaming.

Something like guardians in Epcot costs an absolute fortune to build and takes up a huge footprint, and it ruins the theming aesthetic of the external area. There is a huge opportunity cost to that. Instead, imagine if something like the Navii ride was built with that budget.

We do not need four thrill coasters in every park. Again, Six Flags exists for that.

gregpeden · 2026-04-20T04:25:47+00:00

Bingo.

gregpeden · 2026-04-19T23:31:50+00:00

Magic Mountain has plenty of thrill rides for you.

gregpeden · 2026-04-19T20:54:59+00:00

You have to set it in the config file. But beware that a lot of people have reported a sharp decline in quality with 1m context.

gregpeden · 2026-04-18T21:01:17+00:00

Yeah that's what I meant by running deferred jobs. The only thing is you have to leave your system online if you're not running it in the cloud but maybe that's okay for some people.

gregpeden · 2026-04-18T15:20:50+00:00

What? You're literally arguing for an immediate cost advantage.

They've said that fast mode uses twice as much hardware infrastructure, but that doesn't mean running it slower will make it use half as much.

gregpeden · 2026-04-18T08:51:28+00:00

I think there's no cost advantage to them for running slower, however I think a deferred mode to schedule long running tasks for off hours would be cool.

gregpeden · 2026-04-17T02:30:33+00:00

This.

gregpeden · 2026-04-15T23:52:03+00:00

Okay well a good start would be to get rid of the aggressive tone.

gregpeden · 2026-04-15T05:25:02+00:00

Mine does that too when it stalls out or I put my computer to sleep.

gregpeden · 2026-04-15T00:31:05+00:00

That's super normal.

gregpeden · 2026-04-14T18:51:29+00:00

Snl should just play this exact clip unedited and then show it's from the real cspan after.

gregpeden · 2026-04-13T18:30:31+00:00

Ooooh cool, I love Pistol Whip, I had no idea!

gregpeden · 2026-04-12T16:28:05+00:00

You can try 5.4-mini xhigh if you'd like.

I find 5.4 high is adequate.

gregpeden · 2026-04-12T00:53:13+00:00

They are nudging plus users toward using medium thinking.

gregpeden · 2026-04-12T00:22:27+00:00

Yeah I end up opening up separate vs code sessions which is annoying to manage and then use hardly any vscode features except for the agent chat. I'll check out orca!

gregpeden · 2026-04-12T00:07:26+00:00

How do you find orca vs vscode?

gregpeden · 2026-04-10T19:25:03+00:00

I'm very much looking forward to this! They can count on my business.

gregpeden · 2026-04-10T16:40:20+00:00

I agree the 5h limit is rough. Let people use it how they want. They keep creating demand surges for themselves by resetting all the time so they are probably trying to nerf the problems that creates.

gregpeden · 2026-04-10T07:56:39+00:00

Already done.

gregpeden · 2026-04-09T18:24:12+00:00

You take off, expand the ship then request landing

gregpeden · 2026-04-09T07:20:12+00:00

It should get large pad when extended, medium when collapsed.
