   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)

      After seeing a number of hit or miss releases from both OpenAI and Anthropic my default is to stay put on what I’m using and then free ride on discerning eager adopters by reading their reviews. (Thanks!) Still on sol 5.6 with an occasional advice from Astra. Also I feel like I kind of get used to the models but maybe that’s just my imagination.
