@OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra hedges ("maybe", "might", "it seems") about 20x as often as @AnthropicAI's Claude Opus 5.5. Opus usually weighs a few options and commits early, in about 4 out of 5 summaries as opposed to Astra's 1 in 4. We read 324 of their thinking summaries on Design Arena to see how each one actually goes about building a game. Astra works more like a designer, Opus more like a builder. Full video in the replies.
