Dispute over whether Sol is smarter than Astra and cheaper too
The author pushes back on a claim that Sol is more intelligent than Astra while also cheaper, arguing Sol can be a big, efficient step in the GPT-6 family but still below Astra in raw capability.



Did you actually read my post? Seriously, no hostility here, but did you read what I wrote? I never said GPT-6 Sol being a huge advancement was fake. I disputed your full claim that Sol is MORE INTELLIGENT than Astra while also being CHEAPER, and your comparison of that combination to something like a “6.2-level” jump. Those are completely different claims. Sol can be a huge advancement, an impressive new member of the GPT-6 family, significantly cheaper and more efficient, while still remaining below Astra in raw capability. Astra inaugurated the GPT-6 family. Sol is another model within that family, not “GPT-6.1” or “GPT-6.2.” If you had simply said “Sol is a huge advancement,” I wouldn’t have disagreed with you. So argue against what I actually disputed: your claim that Sol surpasses Astra in intelligence while also being cheaper.
