You know whats the real magic with GPT-6-astra? Price performance. Its so freaking damn efficient in comparison to GPT-5.6 sol. On Astra-Medium you get roughly the same intelligence as with 5.6 xhigh at about 1/3 of its cost. Does it deserve all the hype? Will Astra live up to the hype? So far: Heck yeah. Testing it now, and boy is it a good model. I love it. Kudos OpenAI. GPT-6 is everything I could have asked for.
