Ox Alpha is wired into codex now, and it's free for the whole week!! no api key, no billing. It sits in the picker next to the models we already pay for, and our native models never moved. Vision and a million tokens of context, costing nothing until the window shuts. so we stopped picking the files we think matter and started handing it the whole repo. Seven days is the whole deal. after that it goes back to being something we'd have to pay for, so this week is for the jobs that are usually too big. Here's the whole setup👇

Many of us burned over 80% of our Codex usage in a single day. Stop whatever you're running right now. Astra at the top is what's eating it. Every plan, every review, all day, on the most expensive model you have. So let's flip it. Put DeepSeek V4.1 Flash on top as the orchestrator by running off OpenCode Go or Command Code connect it into codex then spawn Astra as a subagent only for the one task that actually needs it. Let's max out of what's left.

It worked!! Kimi k3 Oauth is now wired directly into codex. The Kimi k3 model is insane but their app is not. So I figure a better way to use k3 by hooking my sub straight into codex instead. K3 now sits in the model picker next to Sol 5.6. Same subscription i was already paying for, no api key, just have to do OAuth in Kimi Code. Links down below 👇

Shooting, aiming, and the animations are all done. Day 17 of speed running to build the GTA 6 with a loop of AI agents. Today's progress: - Shooting feels real now, the hits actually land. - Animations are actually connected, the character moves like a real game instead of a cheap asset. Remember the animation wall from the last two days? We bought a premium pack off Epic, handed it to Claude, and the character finally moves right. The whole on foot half is basically there. What's left for the demo is driving and a multiplayer mode. Aiming to finish the whole thing this week so everyone can actually play it. J A Z I I can't wait to implement driving and see the whole game.

Rockstar just announced GTA 6 preorders open June 25. We are at day 9 of building my own with a loop of AI agents, and the streets finally have people in them. The map's set, so I'm leaving it as it is and slowly adding more stuff into it. the honest part: everyone's hyping Unreal's new 5.8 update and its official MCP. I tried it for whole night. My feedback is not to update it yet. The 5.8 MCP isn't like crazy good, and it actually slows the build down. Chasing the newest version felt like the obvious move. it wasn't. the loop runs better without it. Repo's still open, the project just lives in Unreal now. Theirs is a preorder. mine you can pull and run yourself.

AI can't replace a 3D artist yet. I gave a loop of AI agents two days to fix my animations. This is what I got back. Day 15 + 16 of building my own GTA 6 with a loop of AI agents. Today's progress: - Aiming works now, you can line up a shot properly. - Camera movement is in, it follows you the way it should. - Walking turns look right, no more sliding around corners. We have spent two whole days letting the loop work on the animations and got basically no improvement. The ones we're ending up with and the free ones off Mixamo both look cheap. So we're probably just going to buy a premium animation pack off Epic and hand it to Claude. Good news is aiming and the camera feel real now. Making the character move like it isn't a cheap asset is the next wall.

Day 2 of building my GTA 6 agent in the loop. It's working better than yesterday, genuinely. But two things are bugging me. The Godot version still looks cheap, or might be because half of it isn't finished. The agent built downtown LA skyscrapers, which is a problem, because this is supposed to be Florida. Also I've burned 33% of my 20x weekly usage in one day. So that clock is ticking. So here's where I'm stuck: switch to Unreal, or keep grinding on Godot?

Command Code is now in Codex!! The plan we're on is $1 a month. It comes with $10 of credits and around 15K requests. GPT-5.6 Luna is in it, the same model we just moved to when the OpenCode sub got cut, and Grok 4.5 sits in there too next to DeepSeek, Kimi, GLM and MiniMax. Their own docs say the $1 tier has no API access. It's in our picker anyway. So there's a dollar sub in there next to everything else now. Next time a limit hits mid loop we grab it and keep going.

I let a loop of AI agents build GTA 6 while I slept. Woke up to a dead Mac and a half walking NPC. Day 8. We're moving the whole game from Godot to Unreal, and the agents kept shipping right through it: - the first NPC walks but no animations - in-game phone now has maps, contacts, and a wallet. Bad news: the Mac died overnight because every agent opened the game at once to screenshot it. Fix was one line in claude.md, only one game or editor open at a time. Agents are back to looping, one at a time. Tomorrow: finish converting the entire repo to Unreal, and work the walk animation so the NPC actually looks real. The loop keeps building the phone apps, and I might pull the map onto the phone so the whole thing feels seamless. One catch: the licensed Unreal assets can't be shared publicly, so that part stays in a private build.

10 days ago this was an empty map. A loop of AI agents has been building GTA 6 on it and the community building it together while I sleep. day 10. look at it now. People are walking around. a skyline that actually holds up from the air. from a distance you'd swear it was the real one. Unreal is so goated, this would've taken months on Godot. Up close it's still rough, not every building can enter. on night time the far side of the ocean is empty, so the water goes black. might build a second city over there to fix it. still deciding. Going to implement steal cars and shoot tomorrow. Any suggestions?

Day 3 of building GTA 6 with a loop of AI agents. We've got: - NPCs walking around - cars on the road - shadows and reflections that finally look right - weapons - phones with Instagram in it wait. imagine we wire those in-game phones to real X accounts. You drive past someone and their actual timeline is sitting on their phone. The agents are still looping. Tell me what features you guys want I will add it in there

Codex now has every free Ox Alpha route we could find. OpenCode, OpenRouter, Command Code, Hermes, Venice. same model on all of them, and the opencode free one needs no key. When one runs dry we move to the next, so it's basically codex 24/7 for nothing, and the plans we pay for show up in the tray and the electron app next to the free ones. six model ids and the setup line below. time to grind 👇

I've read a hundred "make money with AI" posts. Most are hype. This one is different. The idea: build a bunch of boring little tools. PDF converters, GST calculators, JSON formatters, word counters. Each one ranks for a keyword. Each visitor sees an ad. Do that 1,000 times and you're at $10K/month. No audience. No content grind. No selling. Just tools that quietly rank and compound for years. The best part is it's actually achievable. AI builds the tools now. The only real work is SEO and getting AdSense set up right. That's exactly what I'm going to do next. Building the tools, ranking them, attaching AdSense. If you haven't read this one yet, go read it. And if you're not sure how to set up AdSense, I attached a video below.
