Astra on Max effort one-shotted my five-hour usage window
Poast new message in this thread
Date: September 8th, 2026 4:51 PM Author: Lascivious Sanctuary Telephone It designed a website for me in one prompt and on the next prompt as soon as I hit enter it ran out of usage. Have to wait three hours to reset. Used 16% of my weekly usage. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5901660&forum_id=2#50123166) |

At least use the desktop app for Sites if not Codex

Date: September 9th, 2026 12:49 AM Author: vibrant mad-dog skullcap coffee pot In the chat Astra is a single agent doing every single task in order when Astra is really only needed at the beginning and end, and NOT doing a bunch of front end design grunt work that terra/luna or sonnet 4.6 is perfectly capable of
In codex the main agent will be smart enough to use dynamic workflows, orchestrate lower models and review their shit and make them fix it until Astra approves. Plus all the built in tools that are literally for coding shit like this firing automatically vs the chat having to invent novel coding solutions for every new step
And chat is just a glorified harness/wrapper for codex at the end of the day. If you ever look at its thinking for deliverable tasks 90% of it is coding shit on the fly. It's eating up usage for an unneeded layer on every prompt and MCP and tool firing |
|
Date: September 9th, 2026 4:32 AM Author: emerald karate stead don't forget, a good amount of chatgpt reasoning is wasted trying to crawl web sites that block automated access, which limits its RAG capabilities. by contrast, codex cli can write a python script that scrapes the web site locally, from your computer and network.
chatgpt has to create the environment where the solution can be designed and validated, whereas codex already has access to it. instead of wasting usage on the testing environment, codex can spend more time actually implementing the solution using information otherwise inaccessible to chatgpt. |

Date: September 8th, 2026 4:55 PM Author: Navy galvanic sound barrier Just pay for the premium, brah--it resets every week instead of every 5 hours. Although you can still blow through that limit fast. I am fuarked bc I have to use it to prep for a senate hearing tomorrow and it does not reset until tomorrow COB

Date: September 8th, 2026 5:16 PM Author: Elite shaky twinkling uncleanness lot's of argument on X that using astra for any typescript/python shit is a mistake. it is too good at manipulating high level interpreted languages for its in-app use cases with hardcoded shortcuts etc I'm no CS masterman but TSINAH or someone could explain perhaps.
your astra max website might be an incomprehensible TypeScript "Any" gordian knot using a single class and 1 function that handles everything. so if you want to change the color of a single asset you will need more astra max credits or risk breaking the entire thing |
|
Date: September 8th, 2026 5:21 PM Author: Hyperactive School Cafeteria gpt is probably the best with python out of any other language. but I think it depends on your use case for whether to use astra or not. if you are doing experiment design I think you should use astra.

Also whats cheapest way to use astra |
|
Date: September 8th, 2026 5:23 PM Author: Hyperactive School Cafeteria it ran out of tokens lol. cheapest way is to put it on a lower reasoning level. it is fine on high. seems better than sol ultra on high. I was looking at the stats actually for sol, and the higher reasoning levels only give marginal improvements, it makes much less of a difference than on earlier models. and it gets much more expensive for little gain.

Date: September 8th, 2026 5:24 PM Author: maniacal kitchen high means it runs prompt over n over vs itself right so for coding for visibility or feature if theres one objective objective its almost worthless? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5901660&forum_id=2#50123229) |
|
Date: September 8th, 2026 5:27 PM Author: Hyperactive School Cafeteria High doesn’t mean it keeps running the prompt against itself. It’s basically a larger reasoning budget for the same agent. I think you’re thinking of Ultra, which can actually delegate to additional agents and workstreams. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5901660&forum_id=2#50123234) |

|
Date: September 8th, 2026 5:25 PM Author: Lascivious Sanctuary Telephone It actually completed the website build. I uploaded the zip to cloudfare, checked it out, looked good but the opening page was missing. So I told Astra, "You removed the opening page with the quotes, put them back," and it was all, "Oh, I'm sorry let me fix that for you," or whatever it said and then about fifteen seconds later I got the message that I was out of work credits.
I could have used the chat function to build it, that's what I used before but I wanted to see how high-end it could go so I told it to build me an incredibly high-end website, spare nothing. I like seeing what they are capable of. Everytime a new model comes out its like Christmas. |
|
Date: September 8th, 2026 5:27 PM Author: Hyperactive School Cafeteria Don't upload it as a zip to cloudflare use github with continuous deployment. It makes it much easier to make changes.

Date: September 8th, 2026 5:35 PM Author: Hyperactive School Cafeteria no. it charges you for compute when you commission a vm, but only if you leave it running. you can just press the stop button. just having the aws account doesn't charge you anything. I use some of the ai models on aws too through bedrock mantel, and just give codex my aws credentials. you can put api keys in a .env hidden folder on your computer and give aws full access. useful if you are building something or running an experiment that requires some form of gen ai, language or vision.

|
Date: September 8th, 2026 6:22 PM Author: Hyperactive School Cafeteria you don't need aws, that's for a static site on cloudflare pages. that would be for if you were using your own vm because you had backend logic and a database. but you should hook it up to git for sure instead of pasting the zip. github is basically a remote repository for storing code and tracking all changes to it. codex is actually already designed around it and you don't even have to paste any token credentials open ai exposes a connector for it where you just authorize it through clicking a setting in the app and entering your password. then you can just push all your changes to your code every time you make them to github, there is actually a button for it on codex or you can auth codex to do it automatically. you can link this up with cloudflare so it automatically pushes it to cloudflare pages when codex makes a change.

Date: September 8th, 2026 8:17 PM Author: Lascivious Sanctuary Telephone All I do is open Cloudfare, click on update website or whatever the button is, drag the zip over, click deploy and I'm done.

|
Date: September 8th, 2026 8:22 PM Author: Hyperactive School Cafeteria Difference is that that requires downloading a zip and uploading it and you also are not using git, so you don't have a history of changes to the code, and you can't just push or pull to github whenever, you have to make sure you have to have a copy of the code. It isn't a good practice to not use git and it isn't that hard. Plus once you set it up, every time you make a change all you have to do is push a button and push it to git hub and it will go to both github and cloudflare if you have them integrated. You can also do rollbacks that way. There is nothing inherently wrong with doing it the way you are doing it, but it is considered amateurish, plus its cumbersome if you are making a lot of changes.

Then I had Astra pro review it all with one chat prompt with copy and paste of every prior chat and the final files attached to the same prompt. It spent 3 hours reviewing and found 13 significant corrections and enhancements. Both SOL and fable insta-approved all of them. And that was a fucking CHAT session motherfuckers |
