☄️ gpt-4o is the real deal for coding

  • gpt-4o, OpenAI's latest model, is the new default model for Plandex. 4o is much better than gpt-4-turbo (the previous default model) in early testing for coding tasks and agent workflows.
  • If you have not used plandex set-model or plandex set-model default previously to set a custom model, you will now be use gpt-4o by default. If you have used one of those commands, use plandex set-model or plandex set-model default and select the new gpt-4o-latest model-pack to upgrade.

🛰️ Reliability improvements: 90% reduction in syntax errors in early testing

  • Automatic syntax and logic validation with an auto-correction step for file updates.
  • Significantly improves reliability and reduces syntax errors, mistaken duplication or removal of code, placeholders that reference other code and other similar issues.
  • With a set of ~30 internal evals spanning 5 common languages, syntax errors were reduced by over 90% on average with gpt-4o.
  • Logical errors are also reduced (I'm still working on evals for those to get more precise numbers).
  • Plandex is now much better at handling large files and plans that make many updates to the same file. Both could be problematic in previous versions.
  • Plandex is much more resilient to incorrectly labelled file blocks when the model uses the file label format incorrectly to explain something rather than for a file. i.e. "Run this script" and then a bash script block. Previously Plandex would mistakenly create a file called "Run this script". It now ignores blocks like these.

🧠 Improvements to core planning engine: better memory and less laziness allow you to accomplish larger and more complex tasks without errors or stopping early

  • Plandex is now much better at working through long plans without skipping tasks, repeating tasks it's already done, or otherwise losing track of what it's doing.
  • Plandex is much less likely to leave TODO placeholders in comments instead of fully completing a task, or to otherwise leave a task incomplete.
  • Plandex is much less likely to end a plan before all tasks are completed.

🏎️ Performance improvements: 2x faster planning and execution

  • gpt-4o is twice as fast as gpt-4-turbo for planning, summarization, builds, and more.
  • If you find it's streaming too fast and you aren't able to review the output, try using the --stop / -s flag with plandex tell or plandex continue. It will stop the plan after a single response so you can review it before proceeding. Use plandex continue to proceed with the plan once you're ready.
  • Speaking of which, if you're in exploratory mode and want to use less tokens, you can also use the --no-build / -n flag with plandex tell and plandex continue. This prevents Plandex from building files until you run plandex build manually.

🪙 2x cost reduction: gpt-4o is half the per-token price of gpt-4-turbo

  • For the same quantity of tokens, with improved quality and 2x speed, you'll pay half-price.

👩‍💻 New plandex-dev and pdxd alias in development mode

  • In order to avoid conflicts/overwrites with the plandex CLI and pdx alias, a new plandex-dev command and pdxd alias have been added in development mode.

🛠️ Bug fixes

  • Fix for a potential panic during account creation (#76)
  • Fixes for some account creation flow issues (#106)
  • Fix for occasional "Stream buffer tokens too high" error (#34).
  • Fix for potential panic when updating model settings. Might possibly be the cause of or somehow related to #121 but hard to be sure (maybe AWS was just being flakey).
  • Attempted fix for rare git repo race condition @jesseswell_1 caught that gives error ending with:
Exit status 128, output
      * Fatal: unable to write new_index file

📚 Readme updates

  • The readme has been revamped to be more informative and easier to navigate.

🏡 Easy self-contained startup script for local mode and self-hosting

git clone https://github.com/plandex-ai/plandex.git
cd plandex/app
./start_local.sh
  • Sincere thanks to @ZanzyTHEbar aka @daofficialwizard on Discord who wrote the script! 🙏🙏

🚀 Upgrading

  • As always, cloud has already been updated with the latest version. To upgrade the CLI, run any plandex command (like plandex version or plandex help or whatever command you were about to run anyway 🙂)

📆 Join me for office hours every Friday 12:30-1:30pm PST in Discord, starting May 17th

  • I'll be available by voice and text chat to answer questions, talk about the new version, and hear about your use cases. Come on over and hang out!
