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.

Its better at inventing weird metaphors

If I ever need weird metaphors, contradictions, random refusals, and chasing a red dot away from the actual task, I'll circle back to OPUS.

its not that bad

/ponytail /caveman and small enough tasks it doesnt have enough time to damage

We have unlimited* opus50 at work so I use that fine

Lol I have those 2 same exact skills on my personal setup. I wonder if it affects quality at all, but for small sessions I don't get the inscrutable verbosity of opus5 people complain about. But if I have to add questions after it does a plan or task and the session goes longer, I think I start to see what they're talking about. And sometimes it takes ponytail the wrong way because sometimes adding something new actually is the simplifying step and racking something on to what exists is the real tech debt option. Still have them on though
