    > 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).

        If you run out of sol medium with $100 you're doing something wrong. Astra destroys your usage, I get 1 day of usage with Astra, but 6 sol is almost unlimited and I only use xhigh.

          How do you get 1 day of usage with Astra?

          I create a lot, but I can make a full month with Astra on the current Pro plan. What are you doing to spend that much?

            Currently spending a lot of tokens programming the AI for my videogame.

            1 day is kind of generous, it probably lasts like 12 hours of running non stop.
