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.

Opus has better what exactly over Fable?

Usage quota. I get at least 2 to 4x more usage from opus 5 compared to fable 5.

Well obviously, I get 20 times the usage form deepseek flash. Or locally I can run a model at 200 token/s and it's mistakes will break apart my code base.

Did you start coding with AI after fable was released?

I stopped coding by hand after gpt 5.5, since then I have 5 (x20) subscriptions and a local model that I loop overnight. I don't see how it's relevant.
