Do you know that now you can see Codex thread owns by your dot via a little icon beside the title. Finally.

If you still think Codex gives you more tokens than Claude, take a look at this research.
They are clearly moving in sync and cutting limits together.
ok everyone, i took one for the team
here's the data we all wanted to see - real token value of each LLM subscription, empirically measured through usage on my real subscriptions
- supergrok heavy has now become the highest value at $12k worth of tokens (40x ROI)
- the $200 plan from openai and anthropic roughly give the same amount of token value, $7k give or take
- cursor ultra's ROI is the lowest among mainstream subscriptions, roughly half of OAI or Ant. for individual consumers i'm afraid this no longer makes sense to purchase
this was done in a clean environment. i ran each provider across 5 whole % points of my quota through repeated eval tasks in open source repos, and measured the total token value from all the agent sessions based on API pricing
caveat 1 - this only measures their coding agent quota (which is the majority of the offered value), and does not include things like chat bot or grok bot
caveat 2 - none of the providers commit to never changing this, so this is a snapshot of what the offering looks like today. i cannot guarantee it won't change again
caveat 3 - the token value assumes you exhaust your subscription completely, which may not be realistic in real world usage

many people reported astra draining quota way too fast
i ran an empirical study to quantify this for us. now here's some hard data -
1. in terms of "how many $ of tokens do you get from 1% of weekly quota", astra and sol aren't meaningfully different, so OpenAI is not "cheating" or anything
they both give around $13-15 per 1% of weekly quota on the $200 plan (btw this also shows you the month value of the subscription is ~$6000)
2. however, astra works much faster than sol while being way more expensive in terms of pricing. these two factors compound into a 2x faster drain on your quota
the study was done by running codex cli on the same repeated tasks in 8 open source repos, and measured all the stats. both models ran at medium reasoning
so my recommendation: don't use astra as the default for everything - it will cost you. use it only when you do need the extra intelligence, or you want something done fast

Keep work across multiple folders in one Codex project.
Local projects can now include related code, docs, and reference files from multiple folders. Codex can read and write across them while one primary folder remains the Git root.

I did a video on why Apple designed their mouse to charge from the bottom. Let me explain. I know it looks odd but there is an absolutely valid reason. Several actually.
1) the mouse charges rapidly. A single full charge will often last over a month. 5 minutes of charging is good for hours too in a pinch.
2) Lightning cables don’t have the stain relief to be used on a mouse that is flying around on your desk all day. Tips would break off and wear out. They would also have to greatly reinforce the lightning port. This would also be true if they used USB-C or micro-USB. People would wear cables down and they would break. Not a great user experience.
Other mice like the Logitech G Pro mice have had to invent wild nonstandard USB cables just to reduce strain on the cable while in use in a wired mode (as pictured) Apple entirely avoided the problem.
3) the mouse is designed to be a wireless mouse and only wireless. It doesn’t support HID over USB protocol as if it were a wired. If the cable came out the front people might assume you can use it while plugged in with wireless disabled on your computer but you can’t. Sure they could add HID over USB but that would encourage you to use it as a wired mouse which is what they are entirely trying to avoid.
4) Apple is doing everything to try to make sure you don’t try and just leave the cable plugged in all the time. It’s better for the battery to discharge and recharge rather than stay fully charged because you leave the cable in 24/7.
5) wires get in the way and clutter up the aesthetics of using the mouse. They don’t want a cable dragging the mouse down to screw the up the free experience of using an untethered wireless device. They also want their computers to look clean and if some has brand new iMac with a wired Magic Keyboard and Mouse then that won’t look as sexy.
Now the mouse is an ergo nightmare and that is valid criticism and why I hate this mouse. But charging from the bottom was thoughtful and well reasoned.
Sure they could have designed a great wired mouse or even a combo mouse but they wanted to make a truly wireless mouse and that’s what they did. Remember the earlier version that looked identical took AAA batteries. This one now is just rechargeable but still the same mouse. Just because now it can use a cable to charge doesn’t mean it’s trying to be a wired mouse now. – at Alameda, CA

Just sold my positions on @RobinhoodApp once the funds are able to be withdrawn I'm closing my @RobinhoodApp account. Only had $1200 on the platform anyway, but now its war. #DumpRobinhood
