GPT-6 Astra
New variant of GPT just spawned: GPT-6 Astra.
Anyone used it yet? Claims are bold: https://deploymentsafety.openai.com/gpt-6-astra
Tests seems to be somewhat missleading as per discussions in ycomb: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49554643
Side note: did you noticed that weekly resets are capped? Like this:

LOL.
i am not impressed at the current pricing and Gemini 3.8 Flash giving 2000 tok/s at literally 0$ input
i would say that yes its good, it's the reason my gpt 5.6 sol acting like a bum recently.
What are you all using them for? I see people so excited for each model coming out but what is the use-case? Are you all vibe coding some complex software I dont know about?
Reverse engineering BLOB?
Same reason sheep camp out in front of Apple stores. Commercialism and awe.
I would rather ask what you don't use it for?
fine-tune open-source projects for personal use cases, setup networking & infra, drain all the remaining tokens because my plan expires in 1 day
Frontier models? Not much due to guardrails.
But things like GML turn out to be opensource at times and that is useful again.
No offence, but all recent gemini models are shitty quality, even tho their benchmarks look like a miracle.
IDK why google keeps pushing -flash models instead of seriously working on a Fable/Astra/K3 rival for real. Gemini 3.1 Pro is also kinda shitty... full of "you're right, I missed that".
3.1 Pro is far behind, 3.8 Flash is ok because its so cheap, 3.6 Thinking in between ~
I plan to test it, but GPT, has disappointed me so many times that I just gave up after 5.5, and did a fast test on 5.6.
I will probably give the new one a try, but to me it seems that gpt has issues with context which results to bad results .
Fable has been good specially in following repetitive workflows and reports .
We use both mostly for repetive taks and QA of user interfaces, or data entry and chat gpt falses miserably on using browser etc
I'm happy with Sol + luna.
With the way that Sol has been eating up my usage lately, Astra is going to be a lot worse. Sol does what I need, so I don't see myself changing.
