How do you find o3-pro for coding? I've also been taking the approach of hand building context and copying and pasting it in for complicated tasks where I want lots of reasoning, like bug/security audits.

I found o1-pro unbelievably good for coding, but when o3-pro was released, I saw the response length in ChatGPT was gimped severely compared to o1-pro, so didn't find it all that useful - it couldn't output long enough responses. I actually cancelled my ChatGPT subscription as it seemed like such a downgrade, though I'll probably try using again via OpenAI's API at some point, so long as the response length isn't capped. I'm tempted to try out Grok 4 Heavy.

o3 pro is really good, but the context is really constrained, so its hard to use and doesnt output enough. This makes it suitable for ideating on good abstractions, but cant really make broad sweeping changes. Grok will output a full file. If you use the o3 pro API, its actually great, but it gets really expensive.
