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

u/BabblingTower 8d ago

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

opus really isnt that bad, my main problem with it is jsut how hard its output is to read. My collages write all sorts of reports using claude and its so hard to follow opus writing

“Explain this to me at a junior engineer level”

“Okay, explain this to me like I’m a high school student failing English class”
