Got rate limited mid-task yesterday and had to switch from Fable to GPT-5.6 Terra. 6 hours of back-and-forth context entirely gone.Lost 90 minutes just getting a different model up to speed on the project goals. Hitting a usage cap at the worst possible moment sucks. We desperately need a universal way to share context across different models.

Sam Altman on CNBC, GPT 5.6 launch day: “54% more token efficient on agentic coding tasks” “we want to be the most dependable, most reliable, most, most best ROI partner” the same model, 4 days later: >GPT 5.6 has many tagged bug reports >Sol draining Pro 5-hour limits at abnormal rates >another issue from just 13 hours ago reports >Sol AND Terra now exhausting the 5-hour limit in MINUTES >multiple emergency usage resets for everyone >Tibo’s own post admits bugs in the Codex harness >spawning too many subagents at too-high reasoning levels >caught silently nerfing Sol >confesses that Sol’s juice value (reasoning effort) was quietly throttled >context window rolled back from 372k to 272k >removes 5h limit for everyone >"more usage being charged than intended" Absolute state.

Perfect opportunity to also complete a 72 hour fast

The biggest scam humanity has collectively accepted as normal, according to Claude

a few days ago xai and cursor shipped grok 4.5 together, the first model they trained specifically for coding and agents. opus tier at a fraction of the cost is the claim, and tonight i finally get to find out for myself. honestly the thing that's been impressing me before the model even runs is grok build itself. this cli improves on a daily basis, i swear every time i open it there's an update and something got faster or smoother. xai came late to the coding agent game and is moving like they know it, and i can already see people switching. so tonight i'm in. i'm handing it something i've wanted to see built for a long time, real agentic work, on my machine, in my terminal. i'll keep you posted on how agentic this thing actually is.

🚨SCOOP: MY Friend at Anthropic says things are VERY tense internally. Dario's running tough meetings — GPT-5.6 Sol is strong and Grok 4.5 is right on Opus's heels. Pulling Fable from subs on July 12 would trigger mass cancellations (why keep Max for Opus 4.8?), so they're now pushing to keep Fable 5 in subs permanently.
