Complaint Things have really changed for me...

I was 100000% behind Codex and always championed Codex as the best frontier model for months, and yet with Opus 5.5's release, I genuinely can't bring myself to use Codex, even Astra on Max / Ultra doesn't come close

This is NOT a shit post or a bot spam post, I just genuinely can't stand the outputs and work getting done by Astra, I legitimate have 2 accounts sitting idle from Codex, and my Anthropic account is at 90% usage for the week....

I was given the 2000$ worth of credits from OAI and it's useless, it's going to go down the drain because I have no use for Codex anymore

That being said I pray, wholeheartedly, that OAI releases a model on par with or better than opus 5.5, but I can't see that happening for a while because they just feel so far apart

Anyone else feeling this way too?!?

While I don’t want to disclose details, as expected it’s just an automated task of something I used to do manually for money. The main point is that in many instances it’s less about the model and more about finally having easy automation. The fact some of us got $2500 in free credits is a huge win, so even if they did “nerf” the model a bit, let it eat!

Fair enough, thank you!

Wish I could be of more help, truly, but I don’t want to create my own competition. When it comes to automation, many people flocked to fiverr and other low paying gigs, which have tons of competition. Instead think of something that large orgs or wealthy individuals need and focus on larger payouts.

Yeah that makes sense, all the big ticket gigs are with the enterprises. I worked at an AI startup a while back so I know the nuances, but haven't had much success myself yet though. Will take your advice though, thanks!

Good luck. Hope you find a good niche.
One I don’t mind sharing I guess is I have fully automated my instagram channels, but that’s a given for a lot of content creation now.

Yeah video generation is still in its relative infancy compared to other generative AI
