   Not even close to astra. Astra is something else. It is expensive, but uses way fewer tokens do my tasks.

   xAI missed its chance, Ball is on Anthropic's court.

      I tried Astra w/ high reasoning on a design document project and it was horrible. It started duplicating output lines, made document edits without permission, and basically did a poor job writing clear prose. I went back to 5.6-sol and it's great. I'm an OpenAI fanboy and was severely disappointed. I hope Astra is better for coding.

         No, Astra isn’t better for coding. I’ve switched back to Sol.

            In programming I mostly use AI for Godot/GDScript code reviews, plus suggestions, and Astra is so much better than everything

               Same here with Godot. I was impressed that it could make an entire working project in one shot

                  I agree, the models keep getting better at one shotting. That’s useful in a lot of situations, like for small one-off scripts that filter/transform some tool call, or make a clever bash call. For the code itself, it doesn’t help me much though.

                     Sadly "one-shotting" is the only thing most "AI reviewers" and their audiences on YouTube seem to understand.
