    Astra is just so good. And the ChatGPT subscription lets me use my own harness, so I can hook it up to exe.dev.

    I’ll be going about my day, have a random idea, launch a microvm on exe.dev with a prompt of my idea, and get a working thing a few minutes later.

    I don’t know how much better a model would have to be to get me to move off OpenAI at this point, but doing just a little bit better in terminal bench 4 isn’t it. It would have to be a difference in kind, like opening up the harness restrictions, or privacy guarantees (comparable to offline models).

    Edit to address questions below:

    ChatGPT supports oauth login.

    Exe.dev has it built in. IIRC, pi also has it built in via /login.

      ya i've been a gpt hater for a while. almost exclusively used claude up until astra. astra feels like it blows everything out of the water. its fast, correct, organized, and less verbose.
