Not to chase the next meta, but to outlast them all.
If narratives are temporary, then ownership shouldn't be.

The experiment begins.

Day 16/

You can now cache for 12h in the API and for logged in users across Codex & Work we keep cache forever and you don’t have any penalty for coming back to an old conversation or resuming after a few hours and are now guaranteed to hit the cache.
You can now choose 12-hour prompt caching in the API.

Persistent agents, like dots, reuse context throughout the day.

You can keep shared instructions, tools, and context cached longer and pay the lower cached-input rate, even when requests are hours apart.

why Tibo not posting anything about day 10?

GPT-6.1 Sol with 500k context window is actually cheaper and not losing quality on long task.
getting this cost with their intelligence is a great deal.
But yeah, still inferior to Opus-5.5 outside from the cost.

So, suddenly GPT Astra is more expensive and weaker than muse. The band aid for Opus 5.5 not yet done, and now this. Lmeow.

100% agree, Ant is the winner on Sept.
OpenAI now giving Astra-6 that too expensive.
or Sol-6.1 that cheap but so slow.

Opus-5.5 can tackle almost everything those 2 can handle, fast and cheap too.
July 2026:
Anthropic has the best code models.
Gap isn’t very big though.
They’re slow, expensive, and the “claudeisms” are at an all time high. And your $200 sub is so limited that you can kill it in a day.

Preferring OpenAI models made a lot of sense. You lose a slight edge on capability, but they’re faster, cheaper and more pleasant to use. Your $200 sub feels unlimited, and you get resets from Tibo every 3 days on average

September 2026:
Anthropic has the best code models.
The gap is way bigger now.
Opus 5.5 is fast, surprisingly cheap, and the prose is pleasant to read. Your $200 sub suddenly feels nearly limitless.

Preferring OpenAI models for code makes almost no sense. You lose a lot of capability and reliability. They’re slow as hell without fast mode, which makes the price far too high. You can kill your $200 plan in a few hours, and the $500 plan goes even faster with UltraFast.

I know OpenAI can come back from here, but it’s looking rough right now.

Seems like OpenAI really tight on compute.
Their models are slow now, even Luna.
You get cheap, smart, but slow model using OpenAI (only Astra is fast).
you get slightly expensive (still far cheaper than Astra), smart, but faster using Opus.

timeline full of SOL-6 and Luna-6 complains that all OpenAI affiliates forced to bullposting about Astra, not those new models.

Looking forward on Dev day release, looks like they will hold up until then.

OpenAI next move is likely to discount astra 6 by 50%, then astra 6.1 coming with the same price and better benchmark score.

And something like grok bot in between.

not bull market yet if there’s no TGE or airdrop farming spreading.

Anyone saying Terra is good, no, it is not.

Created a plan, with SOL, Terra execute.
Terra struggled and blocked the goal.

Ask astra to check,
Few minutes done, and said the block reason is nonsense.

Intelligence matters.

I don't really care about other frontier outside Astra and Fable.
All I need is a model cheaper than Luna MAX as worker with better intelligence to entertain the frontier capabilities and intelligence.

If sol, terra, and luna 6 are more expensive than the current one, will you use it?
5.6 is perfect jump from 5.5 for me.
Price wise they’re also great.

If it’s more expensive, then it’s a hard pass for me.
Another fake ‘more efficient’ PR wont work because Astra is the evidence.

OpenAI start stripping perks and in the end becomes ant follower:
- No more ‘finish the task with 0% usage’
- No more 20x plan for the price of x10
- gate plus account with 5hr limit

Whats next? My guess:
- gate everyone back with 5hr limit
- no more frontier for plus account

one thing I noticed is that Astra actually asking things during mid turn.
example: within turn it asked me "can you keep the tab open?"
Are we back on babysitting frontier model?

codex cli should create proper channel that allowing agent asking questions tho, not within turn.

The most expensive usage of Astra is the compaction.

Long before this context management for astra, I already have it on @zarosabe as brain thread checkpoint. And yes, it works very well on conversation context even you keep on switching model on a thread.

Why plus user even want to try using Astra?
you will have unfinished task almost evertime because of the 5hr limit.

Astra is cost efficient on long run task.
short ones SOL still better.
and if you doing long run task, you will hit 5hr limit.

very good UX by @OpenAI
