There’s no feeling quite like waking up to a message from Tibo at OpenAI saying a usage reset is coming today. It’s like drinking a can of Red Bull at 7:00 in the morning.

Every project that isn’t already in fast mode is getting switched over. Some projects I’d put off until the weekly reset can get moving today.

Let’s go. Let’s burn some tokens.
