It seems that part of GPT 5.6’s token efficiency came from reducing the required “thinking budget” for high/xhigh.
So, xhigh is no longer truly xhigh.

all opinions are my own.
I’d recommend trying OpenAI models. The flexibility with your own harness is worth it.
5.3 Codex was the first time they had a well-polished coding model, imo. But it always needed high/xhigh.
5.4 was much better on a lot of fronts:
- Better usability in terms of personality.
- Much better technical capability than 5.3 on hard tasks
- Can do a lot on high/medium, xhigh not needed
and 5.4 mini can replace 5.3 Codex easily.
5.5 fixed a lot of the “early stopping”, and had better depth and technical capability.
The main advancement was token efficiency and medium/low(!) working for 90% of tasks.
5.6 is much more in depth with tasks, works well on low reasoning levels, and seems to have significantly better capabilities.

5.6 feels much better than 5.5.
It goes into further depth on a task, and has very little “early stopping”.
Did damus relay die?
@jb55 Could I get a dump of the Damus relay, along with the last dump from the last nuke?
Good morning ☕️

Why is the developer of CLINK trying to sabotage Bolt12 by spreading FUD about LND introducing onion relay?
The American mind cannot comprehend this

@OceanSlim You can use ncrypt-go in Grain instead of a custom implementation for NIP-44.
