Why not pro/ultra?


Pro: It's web chat only, I haven't tried it so idk. I think it's useful for Math and that kind of stuff, but I only do programming.

Ultra: Might be useful, the one time I tried it, it was extremely wasteful in terms of tokens. Definitely not a daily driver.

There's also max effort, I think it can be useful but the gains compared to xhigh are quite small.

I think max and ultra are only worth it when the others fail.


It’s very confusing to me. I’ve occasionally used pro to do high-level research and design. Then I ask it to create a prompt for Codex ultra. Ultra can do a lot of genetic benchmarking and testing to elucidate and resolve quandaries.

I don’t know if this is a good workflow.
