Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity

  • hit 5h too fast with just one prompt, standard speed, full of custom skills
  • 5.5 for me hits the 5 hour in 7 prompts
  • 5.5 burns through tokens like holy moly.
  • 5.5 which compacts at around 270k is problematic. Every compating takes time and limits quality
  • 5.4 has serious context issues. You have to limit what you give 5.4
  • With 5.4 I'm lucky if that happens after a few iterations before it starts to hallucinate.
