   > Cached input costs just $0.10 per million tokens—95% less than standard input pricing and 50% less than GPT‑6 Sol’s cached input pricing

   This is the actual big announcement. 50% cheaper cache than GPT-6 Sol will get you far more mileage on Codex.

      Cache doesn't help you much when you are compacting every 5 minutes...

      I was shocked at how quickly I ran out my $100/mo subscription with a single agent (sol medium).

         Try Gemini. It’s so cheap I often use my personal AI Pro account for corporate work, and most of the time it doesn’t matter.

            Gemini is dumb as hell though, it's not like for like

               cheerleader hallucinating agent. That's Gemini.

               Gemini 3.8 Flash is actually pretty good.

               I doubt you've tried it recently, or perhaps you confused the search engine version of Gemini for the frontier models.

               I've been using Gemini on development of a DNN training pipeline, and there's no way you can describe it as "dumb as hell". That description just makes it clear that you're not talking about the technical capabilities of the models, but about some sort of fanboy comparison from a parallel hype universe.
