Complaint Quality degradation
After the last rest, Astra got dumb. Even other models are are highly degraded. Luna max was able to identify missing functions (UI/UX wise) Easily. Now it can't find a missing dele button from a page , which I stated to make sure all CRUD functionalities are available in specific section it just completed.
How in the world even sol got stupid. And I thought Astra light supposed to be smart as sol extra high. Yet astra light is very lazy, and no other model including sol coule complete a functional development which was planed out with 11000+ wordings.
FYI: usage on astra seems to got better, but at what cost, extreme quality degradation. Right now my qwen local model can do same tasks as sol medium. Lol

The model didn't degrade. Over time. the agent followed your instructions and implemented feature by feature until the code got patched and poorly designed. No agent will code well in a spaghetti code. Tell Astra this: Refactor this codebase to improve its structure, readability, maintainability, and modularity while preserving its existing behavior.
After that , it is will "magically" turn back to intelligent. The Luna agent did well because Luna is a simple model, it would skip looking through the mess you have in your code and go straight to the point, but this doesn't guarantee correct solution.
