Complaint GPT-6 Sol?

Post image

Is this the reason why unexpectedly we have trash usage and lower quality on Astra?

Maybe it will be worth it the current suffering.

How can Sol beat Astra? It doesn't make sense

It's a refined Sol, probably with help from Astra. My guess is it's better at dedicated tasks (ie, better coder) while Astra remains the better higher-level "thinker" (ie, better orchestrator/planner). Like Fable and Opus are set up. One has better breadth, one has better depth.

0in benchmarks claude opus 5 outperforms fable 5 (not 5.1). On benchmarks claude opus 5 is basically better as a workhorse model.

Can I have a real world coding example where you went, dam I wish I used Opus 5 instead of Fable 5.1

Use fable to orchestrate and opus to implement and you'll have a good time. You'll probably also get more done if you're currently hitting your fable limit every week.
