🚨Can I ask a DUMB question? I thought OpenAI had at least like 50% more compute than Anthropic?? How tf are their usage limits sooo tiny compared to Opus? Does GPT6 Astra have way more parameters than Opus5.5 or sth? What about 6.1Sol? cuz that doesn't last nearly as long as Opus 5.5 either. Where did all the compute go??
