Developers criticize OpenAI for hyping Astra without shipping it
A critical post says Tibo spent weeks teasing GPT-6.1 Astra without releasing it, Sol iterated too fast, and the $200 tier was cut before a $500 plan was offered.
people aren't mad OpenAI launched a $500 plan they're mad Tibo spent weeks hyping GPT-6.1 Astra like it would solve all your life's problems, just to then not ship it they're mad GPT-6.1 Sol dropped one week after GPT-6 Sol (rushed???), and most devs are still reaching for Opus 5.5 they're mad the team knew today wouldn't land without GPT-6.1 Astra yet hyped it like the second coming of Jesus and they're mad OpenAI sold us a 20x plan for $200, cut it to 10x, then asked for $500 to get 25x on the same day Tibo said "a lot of compute is online" want a crash course in max aura loss? study OpenAI today
