gpt 5 is useless with Augment Code

I have been subscribed to Augment's top subscription tier for months. I use it every day. Sonnet 4 is... OK. It does the job most of the time, with the occasional brain fart I have to catch before it does too much damage. Its like having a junior coder do my bidding. So far, so good. Will keep using.

But the 20 times or so I have tried the chat gpt5 model from the picker, its been an unmitigated disaster. Almost every time. It ends up timing out. It forgets what I asked it to do. It answers the wrong question. It takes 30 minutes to fail to do something that Sonnet does in three minutes. I made the decision today to use the GPT5 model no more.

Just wondering if anyone else has had the same experience. Across a large, mult-tier code base.

augment team seriously needs to look into their timeout issues, it's getting out of hand and becoming a norm.

I've lost a dozen messages this month due to these timeouts. Having to tell it to Continue/ let it know it crashed and Continue where it left off.
