A company says Astra clearly outperforms Opus 5 and Sol 5.6 on highly complex tasks and that engineers given Astra raised overall coding spend by about 60%, while Anthropic's data retention policy has kept it from rolling out widely.

OpenAI is gaining market share due to its strong performance and Anthropic's onerous data retention policy. “Astra unambiguously out performs our previous highest-end models (Opus 5, Sol 5.6) on highly complex tasks” “Engineers given Astra increased overall coding spend by around 60% compared to baseline” “We do not have robust comparisons of Astra-vs-Fable because we have net yet rolled out Fable widely due to data retention policies”
