After weeks of Astra, user switches back to Claude
The author says Astra's usage runs out too fast, with a $200 Pro plan's weekly quota burned in a day, and that while Astra is stronger in 3D and Computer Use, Claude is the better overall model and service.
After Weeks Of Astra I Can Confirm Fable 5.1 > Astra Astra is a solid model, but lacks usage.. You can burn through weekly usage in 1 day of a $200 Pro Plan. Claude is actually better for usage + intelligence. Upcoming Opus 5.2 will shift focus back to Claude. OpenAI has gained traction and immediately backtracked by canceling new PRO plans. Astra is better in areas like 3D / Computer Use However the stronger model and service is with Claude. Running Fable 5.1 main orchestrator with Opus 5 / Astra workers is the meta.
