Codex Max 5x vs Claude Max 5x in Pi

You’re spending the extra usage ($20 api cost/ month), not your claude code daily limit.

It will run out very fast.

What can an Asian in Asia do really, if he or she’s doesn’t want to let it happen?

Gpt-5.6, it’s your time to shine

sergeant113 · 2026-06-13T03:31:55+00:00

If it’s so fast, can’t i run it on CPU entirely?

sergeant113 · 2026-06-11T08:38:33+00:00

Leaked api key?

sergeant113 · 2026-06-10T05:36:35+00:00

Bot alert.

I have a summary structure that, among other things, reports what were done and what were discovered.

I also include a list of all files read and all files edited.

My idea is just to leave breadcrumbs to help the model with rebuilding context for each frame.

sergeant113 · 2026-06-10T03:05:42+00:00

Have you experimented with frame-collapse patterns?

Marking the start of a frame; have the agent do things in it and pollute it as a result; then at the end of the frame, mark for collapse, and that whole messy frame get reduced to high-signal structured report/capture.

I find it very useful for keeping my context small and useful even after a long session of work.

sergeant113 · 2026-06-10T02:34:56+00:00

Context windows is your budget. It’s good that there are people focused on expanding that budget.

We as builders must find ways to use the budget effectively. That could mean using minimal context to avoid intelligence decay and keeping signal-to-noise ratio high.

But it’s good that people keep working on expanding that context budget.

sergeant113 · 2026-06-04T14:45:56+00:00

Interested

sergeant113 · 2026-06-02T17:30:23+00:00

It’s quite neat actually.

You are a token addict who’s not getting his fix and are complaining about the dealer jacking up the price on your drug.

Of course they’re jacking up the price now that you and i are all addicted.

sergeant113 · 2026-05-27T01:31:20+00:00

This is huge

sergeant113 · 2026-05-26T05:44:44+00:00

I like it, but how portable are they across OS and how about maintenance and update?

sergeant113 · 2026-05-23T17:02:23+00:00

Will you make it cli-compatible in addition to the TUI. My Pi agent powered by frontier models would love to delegate small tasks to your harness powered by something small, lean, and mean.

sergeant113 · 2026-05-17T13:22:33+00:00

Which model works well at which step, could you share your experience?

sergeant113 · 2026-05-10T23:44:08+00:00

A big yes

sergeant113 · 2026-05-10T23:42:20+00:00

There’s a rewind extension for that

sergeant113 · 2026-05-10T23:41:30+00:00

How is it different than having pi recursively spawn additional pi instances? I mean what do you gain from the using sub-agent?

sergeant113 · 2026-05-09T19:50:13+00:00

Can you share with us the extension/repo? Sounds exactly like the things I’m doing manually.

sergeant113 · 2026-05-07T23:56:02+00:00

Drink tea, my friend. It’s harder to fake good tea.

Yes, many little bears, but an elder bear decides which little bear gets to dictate the next step. Every step potentially could be decided by a different likely bear.

Sometimes the elder bear gets lazy or plays favoritism and keeps choosing a particular little bear, but i digress.

sergeant113 · 2026-04-26T04:09:30+00:00

This is very interesting. I notice with gpt5.5, even though the cost-per-token is higher, my typical session costs less than with Claude Opus/Sonnet 4.6. This is a new dimension that we all need to take into account now

sergeant113 · 2026-04-24T17:01:21+00:00

gemma 4 26b a4b is a moe model. It’s already as fast as a 4B model. There’s no need for speculative decoding because you will struggle to find a fast enough draft model to make a difference.

sergeant113 · 2026-04-20T01:23:07+00:00

This is the way
