   Haven't even tried Astra, nor GPT 6.. I don't even have fomo anymore

   5.6 Sol still cranking along

      You’re not missing out. Astra was good for a couple of days and is now so quantized it’s often worse than 5.6. And 6 sol is a nothing burger to keep a wedge in the media when Opus 5.5 came out.

         This. We use both opus 5.5 and 6 Sol in a way that allows us to compare their performance. Opus is considerably better.

            In coding? Software architecture? Math? General knowledge?

            The diversity of model use-cases is so broad that comments about "model x is better" without any context are largely useless

      It's worth looking into for the decreased cost if nothing else

      I noticed Sol seems to get rate limited enough to get pretty annoying now. Same for me with every model release that isn't really better than the last, leaving the old model doesn't mean much when they start shifting over capacity.
