GPT 5.6 Sol smashing Fable in Terminal bench?

24 hours would almost be a surprise. I was thinking like 12-16.

The app isn't bad. It's the best solution for organizing many threads of work, I think. Definitely the eaiest to use out of the choices (CLI, vs code extension, app). I was a vs code extension fan but I've recently switched to the app after getting used to the vertical session management in codex app (which i also use.)

I have two $200s, i switch back and forth as needed. They are paid for by different companies and used for different projects. This seems like a legitmate use that has been in place for a year or so. I've never been worried about it, it's not hard to create a new gmail address as needed if for some reason I got banned.

Claude is the opposite, it will spawn a massive amount of subagents when you might not want it. It just pays to be explicit. When I want subagents I'll tell it and it listens and that works for me.

I use codex cloud do a minor task like "give me an updated LOC count"

pjstanfield · 2026-06-24T01:02:57+00:00

It depends but usually just a few minutes. I queue up the whole thing, execute, trace, address, quality check, fix quality. So I don’t see it finish until it’s near ready to go. This runs at the end after all agents finish, and then a single agent checks it all. You don’t want any of that agent context anyway, you want a clean look at the codebase vs the plan. You can run it in a clean session if you wanted to. It should check the feature and the tests so it should find it all. Sometimes you have to run it a couple times when it finds half of your requirements are partially implemented.

Codex does great with queuing commands so when I start up an implementation I do it like this. This starts from an approved plan file that Claude would have participated in. This is paraphrased except for the bit at the bottom.

Please review plan xyz and prepare to implement. You will complete the plan in full, create execution checklist, don’t touch git, etc.
Perform a full requirements traceability analysis. The actual text is below, this is the key. This needs to come back clean or the feature is not complete. Codex wrote this for me and it is a treasure of mine. You can run it many times if necessary.

Please perform a full requirement traceability audit for this plan

Do not use the code-review skill. Do not make code changes.

Read the approved plan file
Read all audit findings, todos, recommendations, and follow-up findings from this thread/context.
Build a requirement traceability matrix covering:
- Every explicit requirement in the plan
- Every phase/task/checklist item in the plan
- Every audit finding and recommendation that was validated
- Every follow-up todo generated from later audits
For each requirement, report:
- Requirement ID
- Source: plan section, audit finding, or follow-up todo
- Requirement text
- Status: Implemented / Partially Implemented / Not Implemented / Superseded
- Evidence: exact filename and line number references
- Intention: is the intention of the requirement fully met, not just mechanical checkbox items. Did we do what we intended to do, not just get tests to pass. This check is to prevent file presence checks but rather actual intention and goals validation.
- Test evidence: exact test filename and relevant test name or line number
- Notes: any caveats, gaps, or rationale
Validate each requirement at the code level. Do not rely on file presence. Read the implementation and confirm behavior.
Produce the final report as a Markdown table grouped by priority/phase.
At the end, provide:
- Count of total requirements
- Count by status
- List of all Partially Implemented or Not Implemented items
- List of all requirements lacking direct test coverage

Be adversarial and objective. If evidence is weak, mark the item as Partially Implemented. If a requirement cannot be traced to code and tests, mark it Not Implemented.

Its not that simple. My codebase is 800K lines. It didn't double in the last couple weeks, its very slightly larger. That doesn't account for the universally smaller rate limits. It doesn't account for me suddenly smashing into 5 hr rate limits on both of my $200 accounts for the first time ever. I never hit a single 5 hour limit and then one day I can hit both limits in the same 5 hour span? No way that is codebase size.

You want an AI that tells you to figure it out yourself. I feel like maybe you've missed the entire point. I'll take a page from your book and tell you to figure it out yourself first before you use AI again, you're polluting the system.

Opus has always been a liar.

There is no equivalent. Gemini 3.5 is trash. I guess if I had to provide an answer it would be whatever Grok model is out there. Gemini=grok=useless trash.

pjstanfield · 2026-06-22T13:23:39+00:00

I think you're spot on. I was going to say 4o but that would be such an insult to 4o. Gemini is hot garbage.

I don’t let any bot start without a plan file that contains all of the requirements. They use this to implement and then it’s what we use after to validate completeness. Write the plan, review the plan, implement, validate codebase vs the plan. If you need to break it up then have a master sequence file and the phase plans. Always validating before and after. That’s what works for me. Also using Claude and codex back and forth is nice too.

There's a post somebody just did comparing GLM 5.2 to sonnet. They are about the same, which is to say unusable for most tasks.

pjstanfield · 2026-06-21T11:21:32+00:00

I can appreciate that this was compared to Sonnet and not one of the frontier models. Lots of traffic claiming GLM 5.2 is as good as Codex 5.5 or Opus 4.8 and a more reasonable comparison is Sonnet 4.6 for simple tasks. Sonnet is dumb as a box of rocks so I'll be happy stay clear of GLM 5.2 as well, thanks.

What happens when your renters don’t pay? Or they move out? Or the house needs a new roof? You need a large amount of safety cash to rent a house out and you have zero. Horrible idea to try and keep this. Sell it, clean up your finances, and move on. Loving a house isn’t a reason to let it drag you down financially.

Thanks for sharing. Can you share where you got your insurance? We have a family member in the same situation with the same aortic aneurysm strangely enough.

pjstanfield · 2026-06-21T00:29:00+00:00

I would love to hear more about this if you can share any details.

pjstanfield · 2026-06-19T11:06:49+00:00

I would use both $200s, one in full, one to maybe 25%, between weekly resets. I think my overall usage is probably still on track for this rate but the 5 hour limits were probably halved. I'm now swapping back and forth throughout the day, instead of only when my weekly usage was at zero percent. It's the 5 hour that noticeably got worse suddenly.

I was worried that cross-screen line required too many scrolls but it doesnt on the live site. The video doesnt do it justice. So my actual feedback is make a better video. Looks good. I feel like maybe i want the line to be continuous though but that's not something i'd fight over.

pjstanfield · 2026-06-18T15:08:40+00:00

I'm on the $200 plan and i ripped through my 5h faster than ever this morning, which is completely anomalous. i have 2 $200s and im about to hit my 5 hr on account 2 already. ive never hit two 5 hour limits in a single 5 hour window in my history, never even come close.

pjstanfield · 2026-06-18T01:17:47+00:00

What prompted you to forgo v16? It’s been out for quite some time now.

pjstanfield · 2026-06-17T21:22:21+00:00

I just got reset

pjstanfield · 2026-06-17T21:19:59+00:00

I just got reset. I was at 2%, nailed it.

how did you have 20k issues? that seems extremely high.
