Astra, on average, despite its GPT 6 version bump, is not any better at coding than Sol. Some even argue its worse in practice due to the varying quality of its output.

(^ this "swearing at a model" thing has happened to me multiple times on Astra already)

If you have to "debate" the quality of a new Big Number model (and double and triple check your eyes and model setting switches when it pukes up complete garbage), that is NOT a good sign.
