User recalls Astra's early promise and later usage problems, hopes Sol keeps 5.6 pricing
A user says Astra started out amazing but ran into usage and quality issues, burning three resets in three days and requiring a second account, and would be happy if GPT-6 Sol is strong and priced like GPT-5.6.
Astra is a bit of a highly debated model because it started out amazing, and then there were issues with usage and quality. When Astra came out, I already had three banked resets on my $200 plan, so I decided to use the model to the full extent... build as much as possible to check its capabilities and limits. I was fascinated with it! I used the three resets in like three days and I even had to buy a second account. I stopped trying new things because I was afraid I would run out of usage, and I needed it for my main work. So, if GPT-6 Sol is really that good and is in the pricing of GPT-5.6, then you can consider me a happy sotsot!
