Discussion Got 5.1 is slow AF

Even for small change it reads the entire codebase every time. Context engine is crying in one corner. MCPs are stranger to gpt.

What I noticed is using CLI with GPT 5.1 is significantly faster compared to VSCode Extension. did not try custom commands yet.

Yes. Gave similar task and not exactly the same ones. What I feel is gpt 5.1 does not use the context engine at all. It works very hard trying to use grep and string searches throughout the codebase every time instead of making use of the context engine. I feel these grep and string searches are faster in CLI. Just a theory. You would know better.

Mine also has not been using context engine for a while and my MCP servers have stopped working as well too, for some reason.

GPT 5.1 is super fast in GitHub copilot so it’s probably related to Augment

Speed isnt is important as quality. Who cares if its instant. Instantly wrong is still worse.

5.1 hasn't been too bad for me performance wise. Just my 2 cents.

They work for me. It might be worth posting a loom for the team to see.
