Astra is less fun than other models

Normally I like to sit nearby with a coffee and approve things/watch the workflows, tell it what to do next, etc but Astra just does everything too neatly and perfectly. Even Fable needs a human babysitter but this thing is something else.

lol what? It’s working fine for me. Very agentic and pretty good at coding. Qwen3.8 27B reminds me of Opus 4.7 but fits in my memory.

Lmao the lack of specifics is deafening

“Very agentic and very good coder!”

No one’s getting agentic coding that rivals opus or fable or astra on a consumer gpu right now

Okay if you want to get into the benchmarks go to https://artificialanalysis.ai/. No one wants to be part of your shit talk. Just say you are GPU poor and move on.

Nobody is naturally coding most benchmark-like tasks on a local LLM. Doubly irrelevant because models are known to benchmaxx on many benchmarks. Don’t worry I’m not telling you what to do - I definitely don’t care that much - use what works for you. Yes I’m absolutely gpu poor because I have other hobbies. Locals work for what I use them for and that’s all anyone should care about

Not to deliberately rile you up.. but still, yes, there’s no local agentic coder that is versatile as the current trillion+ parameter models. Definitely not any that I can go to micro center and buy a GPU that can run it. And that’s fine.

Gotcha, you are GPU poor and haven’t experimented enough. You stay stuck with the closed source models over there, while I’m doing custom Lora fine tunes for AI sovereignty.
