One Jev pattern I’ve been playing with that I haven’t seen discussed much: each call deliberately leaves behind a small piece of state only for the next Jev call. I’ve started thinking of it as Jev carry state. I pass Jev the normal application state it needs to decide. Separately, I distill a few selected decisions from the previous call into a much smaller carry state that exists only as context for the next one. I’m using an animated character as one testbed for this. A Jev decision might affect the actual animation, while the carry state preserves the semantic trajectory behind it: we’re settling from excitement, continuing this behavior, keeping the expression restrained, avoiding another large change. Some of that never needs to become application state at all. It only exists to help the next Jev call understand the intended trajectory of the previous decisions. Keeping that state small and curated preserves the trajectory without replaying the full history or passing every implementation detail back through the model. The result has been surprisingly useful for temporal coherence. A sequence can continue, settle, change direction, or escalate in a way that feels connected to what came before. Jev itself is still stateless. The continuity lives in the carry state that one call leaves for the next. I suspect this pattern is useful well beyond animation. Curious whether others are doing something similar. @typesafeai @CompleteSkeptic

Resolved, same day. Turned out to be a subscription edge case on my account colliding with the new Pro signup freeze. Not a ban, not a flag. Thanks to the @OpenAI team for moving so fast. For everyone who said the numbers weren't real: ~$80k on OpenAI credits in the last 7 days, peaking at $27k/day. Another ~$80k on Anthropic since Sep 1. One person, one personal account per lab, one MacBook and no servers, every credit paid out of my own pocket, no company card, at the same rates anyone can get. Receipts below. This is what building with agents looks like in 2026. What all this is building: soon.

I've been spending ~$20k/day out of my own pocket on GPT-6 Astra in Codex for the past week. One person, one personal Pro account, paying for every token, running long lived agentic dev loops around the clock. This morning my one and only account was downgraded to Free with no email, no notice. Codex just stopped mid-task: `gpt-6-astra is not supported when using Codex with a ChatGPT account.` Billing is clean, not a renewal issue. The new Pro account freeze means I can't even re-subscribe to get Astra back. @thsottiaux if an automated check flagged this I'll verify whatever you need. Just need a human on it. DM open 🙏
