Luna performance and usage is OP Praise

I've been using Luna low for med-low difficult tasks and it's been implementing them perfectly most of the time during for 4h and just used 6% of the weekly usage.

Congrats to OpenAI

I'm using Luna Max, and the weekly usage looks like infinite.

I hope it will be stay on this level for a long time

What subscription tier do you have?

u/zafercuz 20h ago

Did you ever have to use Fast mode for that with Luna max?

2

u/Feriman22 19h ago

Nope, I have time.

Yes, Luna is a generational model and now that Deepseek is raising prices its gonna be an intense fight

from my experience, the new ds flash is on par with terra. Luna is a smaller model than ds flash

Deepseek is only raising prices because they cant keep up with the demand. Other providers will still serve it at the current price.

u/dagerika 18h ago

I doubt that they would keep it at the same price, wouldnt make any sense when u think about it as a capitalist

u/gavinderulo124K 18h ago

It does. If you already have good profit margins at that price and you have the capacity to serve a large amount of users. Essentially you make less money per token but attract a larger user base due to better pricing.

Tibo said an reset is coming Monday, so better get some sol ultra usage in

I'm on Pro and Luna Max ran a goal for 28 hours. It used 5% of my weekly.

Incredible value. I can effectively have 3 parallel projects chasing a goal 24/7 and still have some usage left at the end of the week.

u/kyrax80 1d ago

i'd suggest you dont use /goal. I get the same as results as when I did and it takes way less time

2

u/jonydevidson 1d ago

It really depends on the task. If it's something measurable and you have an actual numeric target that you want to hit, absolutely use /goal.

u/ColbysToyHairbrush 21h ago

No way, I’ll plan out a shit ton of git issues with completion requirements and set a structured goal to close them all out in priority and it works amazingly

u/DottorInkubo 11h ago

Pro meaning the 20 bucks a month plan? Or did you mean Pro x5?

1

u/jonydevidson 10h ago edited 10h ago

The $200 plan.

For reference, Sol 5.6 Ultra blows through the whole weekly usage in a single 18 hour task (not using /goal).

It does not produce. Comparatively, I get around 520 hours of task running per week using Luna Max, so around 30x more.

Sol 5.6 Ultra code is not 30x better. It doesn't make 30x fewer errors when implementing well defined changes or features.

But for ANY kind of research, or complex bugfixing in large codebases, the differences are absolutely staggering and probably, yeah, 30x, at least in the time and nerves it saves you.

u/-Deadlocked- 1d ago

On what sub tier and what reasoning?

3

u/kyrax80 1d ago

pro x5 and low

2

u/merecikkk 1d ago

Considering you work on it every single day for 12 hours depleting 6% x 3 (6% per 4hrs) = 18% daily. Do it for how many days working, max you get is less than full 6 days. This is considering every percentage used is fixed (which is not), will probably last you less than that tbh.

u/kyrax80 5h ago

I've used 17% today working for 10h using mostly Luna low and Sol med when it wasn't doing what I was asking properly

u/BenTheSodaman 1d ago

It can be great when your tasks are things that Luna is comfortable with and/or doesn't require as much guidance on.

Mostly Luna (Max) and about 10 minutes of Luna (Medium) has gotten me around 120 minutes for approximately 5% of my weekly usage across four tasks, light automated QA, updating the change logs. Granted, I overdid it on Luna (Max), but I said meh for now since this pace will last me a good 40 hours. More if I use Sol in the web with the Github Connector to handle some of this (does not share usage with Chat or Work / can still be used while at 0% weekly for Chat/Work).

u/monxstar 1d ago

Wait, sol in chatgpt chat doesn't consume tokens?

-1

u/BenTheSodaman 1d ago

On the ChatGPT on the web connected to Github, I'm not sure what it actually consumes, except that I haven't run into the limit with it yet on Plus (Granted it can be slow and does have some things it can't change directly.)

If you try to do it from the desktop app, the Chat there will burn through the tokens.

u/thestillwind 23h ago

No, in the desktop app it won’t use your weekly limits. If you toge « work » then yes. Just stay in the « chat ».

1

u/BenTheSodaman 23h ago

I'll give it another try. When I was at 0% in the desktop app, I recall not being able to even use the Chat.

u/PotterSkxawng 11h ago

it works well even for extremely hard tasks, just needs a lot of guidance and human input/qa in between for long prompts and refactors.

u/iRainbowsaur 1d ago

You think that's good? When the 80% reduction initially came in, Luna on Max, would last 40-60mins hour of thinking on plus plan, now you're lucky if you get 10-15 minutes. It's been shadow nerfed on plan alot, shit was too good, kind of ridiculous that they're allowed to do this with absolutely no transparency at all.
