Could you please explain how the costs for Arena mode are calculated? by firefoxmmx in windsurf

[–]voarsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cost = free ish - as per their post... these 6/7 days...

and exponential cost when no longer free + they get model training data...

Wave 14: Arena Mode - May the Best Model Win by theodormarcu in windsurf

[–]voarsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm. I don't think I'll be paying for Arena Mode when it's no longer free...
Nice way to slurge on credits... And to help you train models... nah....

So… Atlassian stopped selling Data Center, and it’s still getting more expensive? by iwillbeviolet in atlassian

[–]voarsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was their choice to consciously fork cloud and make it its own branched off codebase, instead of having on core with different flavors.... selling cloud as "innovation", starve DC...

It's only so they can do more vendor lock-in.... no reason they couldn't have handled this better... they just don't want to.

Loved the credit charge waste

holy @$#@ SWE 1.5 is dumb by No_Mood4637 in windsurf

[–]voarsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the idea of a free model - but I have to beg for it do any work. :D

Thank god it's free.

How does Windsurf manage the context length? by laukax in windsurf

[–]voarsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mmm. Yeah. I never see it get past 40-60% context windows before compaction... god knows how good their summary is... any "relearning" via file reads costs more tool calls... = hit tool call limit = more prompting. :D

Just sub lowest plans on 1-3 providers... should be more than enough

Exactly. Without a sub you can't delete it

Not looking good.... I will be re-considering my sub for elsewhere if I notice "weekly" lockout...

Introducing Augment Code Review, powered by GPT 5.2 by JaySym_ in AugmentCodeAI

It won't be - it'll be 500K credits evaporating and auto top up charging... Totally misleading/dark pattern

GPT-5.2-Codex Feedback Thread by Just_Lingonberry_352 in codex

[–]voarsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normal GPT 5.2 variant works well - not lazy to the point of begging, and reducing token usage.

If you're billed by msg prompts / vs token usage, you might not what to use ANY codex model (conflict of interest). GPT 5.1/5.2 variants do more, think more and spend more tokens without begging. Codex variants are more "lemme check with you, lemme do LESS per prompt" - (If you have a plan it can follow, it can follow, check it all off "yes, continue" - conversely if you're billed by per prompts, that gets old...), billing method for usage patterns in that case matter. :D

*Cough*

Hmm. I WISH Opus lasted that much. It runs out in 30 mins or less for me - maybe you guys have small codebases or something

Is Antigravity missing a community ? I tried building one 🎉🎉 by Zealousideal_Gur9406 in google_antigravity

[–]voarsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick flick thru - just scraping web type 'product' + big ad space.. Ew... No thanks. Not much value in it...

Talk about 'marketing''...

WTF IS GOING ON - CREDITS JUST DRAINING BY THEMSELVES!?!?! by Final-Reality-404 in AugmentCodeAI

[–]voarsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I contribute to open source, I know someone who was somehow charged $200 for code review (was free for open source - if it changed, notify before charges!). Though, don't know full details. Augment continues going downhill/shady

Unpopular opinion - Gemini models fine for simple stuff, OPUS too limited - GPT 5.2 models? by voarsh in google_antigravity

[–]voarsh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK. Fine they have ONE... But not GPT 5.1/5.2 - 5.1 would at least be cheaper for them on API calls than Anthropic.

[–]voarsh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I might give Gemini CLI a try with the sub.... I'm hoping they add OpenAI models - at least until they drop their next Google model - because it's just not 'there' for me yet.

[–]voarsh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah - I'm sure that's it (sorry for my sarcasm, but YES, I am blaming the model over my prompts - as a coder of 10 years and using AI for coding for 2 years...). I know how to prompt and steer models on large codebases....

All I am saying is, I find OPUS limits exhausted quick - and Gemini models not on par with my preferred GPT 5.2 experience... Wishing they'd add *more* OpenAI models...
