Right, Codex 20x sub -- 5hr usage is ~30% of your usage. Pretty odd, given that Codex used to give significantly more usage than Claude.
$20 Claude pro sub, running opus 5.5 high for almost 2 hours nonstop to use up a 5hr limit, and each 5hr limit is about 15% of weekly usage This is way more than what you get with $20 ChatGPT plus, and opus 5.5 is so much better than Sol 6 Anthropic wins so hard here

It's insane, a 20x subscription allows you to work for 2 1/2 workdays.
If Codex doesn’t fix its usage limits, users will move from GPT-6 Astra to Opus 5.5.

This is awesome, VR finally gets into a usable shape. Kudos @finkd - it's what the industry needs
this is literally steve jobs coded

Opus 5.5 sub usage is excellent, a 20x sub will likely match a work week. Astra is unusable lately, a few hours of work and 40% usage is gone.

Would be useful if Codex would show the number of credits used in the task, when the task consumed credits not sub usage. Eg Worked for 1h 10m, consumed 310 credits @thsottiaux

Or even better, show the actual $ cost next to the credits

If you're still struggling with Codex draining sub limits fast: Codex still eats up usage like crazy when using "Approve for me". This does not appear fixed since it was raised. I highly recommend disabling it and instead setting up the needed policies in a local config.toml and rules file. This brings back reasonable limits on a 20x plan.

"Make Europe the global leader in AI assurance technology" EU being EU
Today, we publish a Transformative AI Strategy for Europe. Over the last few months, we’ve rallied researchers and engaged with governments to develop a plan for protecting the prosperity, sovereignty, and security of Europeans in a time of rapid AI progress. transformative-ai.eu @MonikaSchnitzer and I are honored to have convened an all-star team of thinkers and researchers contributing ambitious near-term objectives to make Europe relevant again, including: — Creating a Member State Alliance for Supply Chain Security (@anton_d_leicht et al) — Making European institutions ready to act in a transformative AI world (Conor McGlynn et al) — Securing Europe's share of global AI compute, in a ‘European Way’ that benefits local communities (@philip_fox_ et al) — Ensuring resilience to AI crises (@ben_s_bucknall et al) — Making Europe the global leader in assurance technology — And more objectives around security of supply and leverage (@milorignell et al), economic strength (@FraukeStehr et al), and safety/security (@NoemiDreksler et al) Our all-star senior expert council of Europe’s best and brightest (and non-European friends) reviewed drafts, provided strategic advice, and made suggestions for how to make the strategy more useful: @Ph_Aghion @Christophkw @bakkermichiel @ischinger @vestager @aleks_madry @FuestClemens Marta Kwiatkowska @LeoVaradkar @antonosika @DAcemogluMIT @Yoshua_Bengio It’s never been more clear: AI is real, and Europe needs to act. We’ve had all the warning shots and wake-up calls we need. Now the question is ‘what must be done?’ This strategy is our answer. transformative-ai.eu

True, won't just allow China to take the lead. It will allow newcomers to form and catch up. I agree wit David, just go ahead and pace your RSI and research. You don't need nobodies approval - just do the right thing.
Dario has written that we need to “pace the frontier,” and Sam has agreed. People may be surprised by my response: go ahead. You guys are the frontier. By any reasonable metric — market share, revenue growth, model capability — the two of you have a duopoly on frontier intelligence. You’ve also claimed the lead is widening because of recursive self-improvement. I don’t see what you see in the lab. If the unreleased models are scary enough that you think you should slow down, I support your decision to be responsible. But stop pretending you need anyone else’s permission. Stop pretending antitrust law has to be suspended so you can form a cartel. Stop pretending you need a regulatory approval process that supersedes product liability. Stop pretending METR is independent when it is intertwined with Anthropic’s investors and staff. Stop pretending you need those same evaluators to police competitors who aren’t even at the frontier. Most of all, stop pretending the motivation to slow down is purely altruistic. You face massive product-liability exposure if your products enable a truly damaging cyberattack. The market already punishes models that behave in unpredictable or unauthorized ways. After the Hugging Face episode, it is simply good business for OpenAI and Anthropic to trade some raw power for reliability and predictability. Call it alignment if you want. It is also just giving customers what they want. Pacing the frontier would also create breathing room for a more intelligent conversation about regulation than Bernie Sanders’ “shut it all down.” China is very unlikely to join a global agreement, as you know, and that has to be taken into account as well. So go ahead and pace the frontier. You are the ones setting it. The easiest way not to build superintelligence is for you to agree not to build it. Demanding your preferred regulatory framework as the price of that will look like blackmail of the public and the political system. So just do it. If you do, you’ll buy goodwill for the next conversation. If you don’t, we’ll know this was just another bid for regulatory capture — or an election-season psyop.

The notary again.... there are other issues such as the time it takes to open a bank account for a new entity, or time to tax ID, or GDPR. I just incorporated a new UG for 200EUR in a matter of minutes, it's not that bad.
And as we speak the German notaries are doing a strong lobby so that EU Inc keeps notaries mandatory. We’ll soon see if Member States at the EU Council bend their knees for them against the democratic will of Europeans who want notarization optional / out as clearly shown by all studies, including the official EU Inc public consultation. Enough.

Punishing users for the slop that grok produces as a response is peak dystopian. It literally translates to: you're not allowed to ask questions. Hard to believe, but the US took it further than EU's censorship regime this time. Not even our Bureaucrats would be able to come up with that.

OpenAI’s announcement of a solution to a Millennium Prize Problem prompted me to consider what the achievement means for humanity. The approach used to arrive at the solution may have heavier implications than the solution itself. Read here: abstract3d.com/research-essa…
We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics. The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra. The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.

How is there no response from @OpenAI on that?
Something's off with Codex usage. I was at 70% and it dropped straight to 0. We need a reset @thsottiaux
212
it's just temporary, soon there are no problems to point to - because AI is advancing at a pace that human internalization of what just got "solved" will not longer be possible. no, human-driven research is not yet over, but it's scheduled to be over.
Still more absolute 🔥 from Terence Tao: “We have now seen that even the rumor of someone working on a problem can trigger a massive amount of AI-powered effort to flatten it before the original research project has time to reach its full potential. The incentives may now be pointing in the direction of no longer sharing any promising research directions with the broader community, which would reverse centuries of traditions of open science and do serious long-term damage to the future of the field”

reads like ai in lowercase
go fuck yourself @sama claiming that you solved navier stokes because 10000 agents ran in circles for 88hours on a multimillion dollar gpu cluster to formalize in lean a blowup case under controlled external forcing is pure scientific vulgarity the clay mathematics institute millennium prize does not ask m whether you can artificially force a singularity in a fluid by injecting an ad hoc smooth external forcing term f(x,t) to twist the vortex until it breaks the real problem questions the fundamental stability and global smooth existence for 3dimensional incompressible euler & navier stokes equations under natural conservation laws and viscous dissipation alone using a mathematical loophole on forced equations to parade a century old victory is a major conceptual scam Altman technically & epistemologically what you present as an agi breakthrough is nothing more than bruteforce combinatorial autoformalization the ai did not understand fluid mechanics it simply navigated a continuous search space previously mapped out and constrained by the monumental work of human mathematicians like tristan buckmaster/ levent alpöge / diego córdoba or tarek elgindi coordinating 10000 agents to check the logical consistency of a 100 page proof via lean is a software engineering feat and computational parallelization triumph not an intrinsic scientific discovery it is the victory of the compute bulldozer over abstract human intuition repackaged for the public as a higher mathematical consciousness to this theoretical imposture you add a disgusting ethical and industrial cynicism taking advantage of private codex sessions and informal preprints from academic researchers to siphon their research leads and then trying to redact or erase the contribution of levent alpöge under the pretext that he works at rival anthropic is intellectual serfdom openai behaves like a feudal lord of silicon appropriating the cognitive subsistence of independent scholars threatening their careers behind closed doors if they protest and turning community academic labor into a privatized pressrelease this entire staged event serves a desperate financial agenda in a pre ipo panic facing the slowdown of scaling laws and growing investor skepticism over the profitability of foundational models openai needs to manufacture an artificial sputnik moment claiming to solve a millennium prize without immediately submitting the proof to traditional peer review means using the prestige of fundamental mathematics as cheap marketing fuel to inflate a delusional valuation!!! real science is not a clout chase on social media or a compute spike spent to rob the clay mathematics institute it is a quest for elegance physical truth and universal rigor to decode reality true artificial intelligence will not emerge from hostile corporate takeover of academic work hidden behind computational bruteforce but from architectures capable of generating new conceptual paradigms by masquerading constrained formalization as the collapse of physics greatest mysteries you did not solve navier stokes you only proved how far silicon valley will go to prostitute scientific integrity for capitalist spectacle

nobody is discussing this here: @deepseek_ai will release DS4.1 flash tomorrow that outperforms DS4.0 pro. tbh DS4 is the only model that makes sense from a commercial standpoint right now looking forward to seeing the benchmarks

Ridiculous: one /worktree-review invocation with Fable. It spawned 5 subagents and immediately ran out of usage (was at 0) and started eating paid credits. $35 for a PR review that likely only caught 10% of the issues.

.@christianmiele is not wrong. Blaming the notary process for the lack of startups is the purest form of cope. There are many reasons why we lack (good) startups, notary is at the end of it. 1. There are just too many incentives not to become a founder in EU: pension payments, health insurance, social securities. 2. Founding a company is all risk, and anybody in your family will tell you it's better to seek real employment. 3. Another issue is In Germany schools/colleges aim to get people into the Middelstand - not become founders. However, comparing to other EU countries it's evident that these are all secondary issues. 4. The real issue is that EU lacks inspiration, commitment and raw talent needed to pull it off. 5. AND if you do find a founder with all of the above -- VCs in Germany/EU prefer PE style bets, reduce risk whereas US VCs minimize risk through massive market or founder potential. In Germany specifically, money typically goes into safer (PE-type) bets as it's too risky, too hard to believe that a founder can do all that, too ambitious etc.
Really convinced that @christianmiele is wrong here! “... But at the same time, I feel like no generational company or exceptional founder ever failed because of notary meetings…” I agree that for a founder, spending 10 hours at a notary and paying €30k on a €10M round is not the biggest challenge. But the second- and third-order effects are much worse: (1) Every cap table change in a German GmbH has to be notarized, meaning every shareholder technically has to show up in-person at the notary. You can use a POA, but that also needs to be notarized and, for foreign investors, often apostilled. In some jurisdictions, that means going to an embassy. A US investor will do this exacatly once, and next time tell the German founder to set up a Delaware C-Corp. (2) More German and European founders are doing exactly that: setting up Delaware C-Corps or UK Ltds. Those are no longer German companies. They attract US investors and, if successful, are far more likely to IPO in the US. The founders may still be German, but they’re building another US unicorn, not a German one. I think our industry still massively underestimates the long-term damage this does to Germany and Europe.
