Brief

@iaindunning reports his team's agentic workflows cluster around '4.6-1M' (1M-token) usage while individual habits vary: he avoids compactions, prefers on-disk versioned knowledge, and concedes underuse of the large context. No one adopts a full 'gastown' approach, a Codex minority remains, costs are modest, and practices evolve weekly; he plans to restart with 4.7.

Why it matters

Nearly everyone on @iaindunning's team uses model/config '4.6-1M' (a 1M-token context window); the author rarely uses automated 'compactions' and instead manually clears state and stores knowledge on-disk, admitting he likely isn't fully exploiting the 1M context.

Key details

  • No one on the team is going full 'gastown' for their jobs, though some are closer than others; there is a meaningful 'Codex' minority, token spending is noticeable but 'shrug-worthy', usage patterns shift weekly, and the author plans to restart his session with '4.7' (post dated 2026-04-17).
