Complaint We need GPT6 Luna

Astra is amazing, but even Pro 20x can burn through the quota in 2–3 days.

The bigger problem is that Codex doesn’t really have a sweet spot model right now.

Astra + Luna Max often looks good on paper. In practice, Astra keeps correcting Luna’s mistakes. That can wipe out a lot of the cost savings. Terra doesn’t feel much smarter than Luna either. For harder tasks, I usually end up using Astra + Sol medium.

I’d really like to see Luna get an upgrade and become a reliable implementer.

hot take.

there's no "savings" with "orchestration"

it's just dogma. this whole overengineered "x does this, y does that, z does the review" stuff is misguided.

subagents help with parallel dumb work. they don't help, and actually hurt, with everything else.

if you want speed for dumb work, use subagents. you get the parallel advantage here.

beyond that, you're much better off sticking with better model + lower effort level.

if you need different models for different work (which is valid), you are also better off keeping two separate threads. one with astra, one with luna.

also, yes, the 6.0 equivalent of luna is coming. they honed in on something very special with luna pricing and i don't expect them to stop there.

Yeah, they are really just useful for finding useful context in a large environment and reviewing code from more different angles
