GPT-6 Astra in Practice: Tests, Use Cases, and Feedback

Given the same prompt to generate a riding animation, Claude Sonnet 5.5 comes close to GPT-6 Astra in visual quality while GPT-6 Sol falls clearly behind.

A cost comparison chart shows Sonnet 5.5 costs more per task than Opus 5.5 and more than twice as much as GPT-6 Astra, earning it the nickname "token gremlin".

A poster shares a screenshot claiming Sonnet 5.5 performs better than GPT-6 Astra in Codex use at one-fifth the cost, saying OpenAI is finished.

On the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, Sonnet 5.5 scores 56, above GPT-6 Astra's 53, and the poster doubts Astra Minor can top it before DevDay.

Artificial Analysis measures Sonnet 5.5 (max) at about 193k output tokens per Intelligence Index task, roughly 7x GPT-6 Astra (max), though its lower effort settings trail GPT-6 Sol on efficiency.

A short post arguing OpenAI is in trouble says Anthropic took 16 days to overtake GPT-6 Astra, and that Sonnet 5.5 will likely do the same to GPT-6 Sol.

A meme post says Sonnet 5.5 scores 56 on Artificial Analysis, behind only Opus 5.5, ahead of GPT-6 Astra and far ahead of GPT-6 Sol at the same price per token.

A screenshot shows Claude Sonnet 5.5 Max ranking second on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, ahead of GPT-6 Astra Max and just below Opus-5.5.

A user who says they dislike Artificial Analysis and benchmarks calls Sonnet 5.5 outranking GPT-6 Astra and Claude Fable absurd and asks Anthropic what it did.

A video puts Claude Sonnet 5.5, GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6 Sol on the same task to see which does better.

A video meme jokes about the face Sam Altman would make seeing Sonnet 5.5 outdo GPT-6 Astra.

The post argues Opus 5.5 is stronger, faster and has higher limits than Astra, that Sonnet 5.5 beats GPT-6 Sol, and suggests just using open-weight models.
