When comparing OpenAI and Anthropic models, you shouldn't be using GPT-6 Astra against Opus 5.5 just because Opus is that good. You're comparing models from different tiers. Astra's competitor is Fable, and Sol's competitor is Opus. Simple as that. We just need to admit that OpenAI has a gap to close, because Anthropic's tier below Astra is already giving it a serious challenge. And I believe that's about to change.
