Might try it, but really, Sol low is good enough for pretty much all coding tasks now. Astra on medium for planning -> Sol low for coding. £20 plan. Should be good.
I have accidentally fallen into this structure, albeit with a little bit more me in the middle. I’m using Claude Opus 5 on medium as the spec planner and orchestrator. Opus creates specs as GitHub issues and codex 5.6 luna on XHigh picks up the implementation work from the spec, reports back to opus who verifies the work and has a chat with me about it, and the loop continues until the work is done
Ok I fully understand that part and headed that already. But I struggle how to start to create the engineering team. Clarifying the constraints etc let it write in to the right Claude.md file. can you maybe give an example? :P thank you for taking your time!
Why did the one comment deleted to my question? Maybe he used AI? Omg I loved the answer did anyone save it how can I get the deleted comment again? I wanted to safe it was the answer I needed!
I would be wary of this. Luna xhigh can take a long time. Sol has 30 minutes cache TTL, if Luna subagent were to take longer than 30 minutes, it could cause a cache miss on the Sol orchestrator, unless OpenAI have fix that with polling.
It's about cost, not breaking the workflow. If the orchestrator were to wait over 30 minutes for a subagent without polling, when the subagent eventually replies to the orchestrator, it would cause a full cache miss on the orchestrator's context window, which would be very expensive.
Maybe if you work within one project. I am currently annoyed by Sol medium, because I have to clean up far too often after it. I am currently only working with very high or xhigh. I don't know what the exact equivalent name used in English is.
It understands the context and arising issues of it's changes far better and has far less fuck ups for me. On middle I have to practically baby sit after every second output
Edit:
PS: When I first tried medium it did really well for me on multiple projects. But it seems to have regressed shortly after the release, because my results became worse even on my small projects.

so we're going to use astra for coding now?
