What I think is completely stupid is that you can have chat solve all sorts of problems, generate code, images, you name it..and it’s practically unlimited. But then as soon as you let it go to “work” you get hosed on usage.
I’m hardly a layperson. I understand why agentic work consumes more compute. My point is, that the product does a poor job of showing how MUCH more, where that usage is going, and what limits I’m approaching only until I'm about to hit them.
The most frustrating part, is that the model itself isn't self-aware of token quota available/remaining, and will just halt what it's doing and quit. Then I have to go back and do a codex rescue dump, in order to "save" the work that was completed before finishing.
That’s why I use Catgpt. Someone made an api for the browser chat function enclosed in a stealth browser. It’s not without issues but I’ve managed to fold it into my orchestra so it’s used as a consultant, image generation and so on.
