    The GPT 6 release was ... not great.

    Sol 6 was so bad that I switched over to Opus 5.5 exclusively.

    Huge regression compared to Sol 5.6, often doing really dumb things. Same for Luna.

    Even Astra is very unreliable for coding. Brilliant for vision, sometimes just great, but it also often does very stupid things.

    I'm a bit sour on OpenAI right now and skeptical that 6.1 will be much different.

    (Note: this is after preferring and shilling Codex/OpenAI models for the last half year)

      Maybe OpenAI was the only one pacing the frontier.
