@malikontech: Save this post. Astra 6.1 can be incredible, but it needs to be usable for everyone. A smarter model doesn’t mean much if the limits are tiny, inference is painfully slow, or it’s locked behind the most expensive plan. OpenAI needs to nail both this time: intelligence AND accessibility. Give us the frontier model we can actually use. #OpenAI #ChatGPT #Astra #AI #Tech Follow for more.
It’s terrible for the $200 model it gives you 1 day a week worth of tokens max. It burned through my entire weekly plan on the single task and didn’t complete it. Fable is much better but also can’t make it through a week.

I can do about 20min of work in codex a day with Astra for m able to get 45min of codex use with sol on medium so I’m not using Astra unless I can’t do it in another model but I agree it’s unusable if every new model gets more expenive eventually ChatGPT will be unusable

A good model is not good if 90% of subscribers cannot use it for anything, and those saying just pay more are not understanding the discussion

It’s really not great for 200 plans - it lasts me around 9 hours

You don’t need to use it all the time, just cause it’s the best. You don’t need it it’s too high powered for what you’re doing. Nobody or almost nobody needs to use that as their normal Daily model. I use ultra for maths and science work when it’s really intense proof stuff and it works for about six hours on a weekly budget on a $200 plan. That’s a hell of a lot of work and tokens and the work is very intensive. I can run it on extra high mode and it will last about twice that long. But most of what you need to do doesn’t even need to be on extra high for Astra. If you’re coding, you don’t need that. That’s for seriously complicated mathematical tasks and you wouldn’t just use that only all the time. So yes, you cannot use Astra in Ultra mode all the time and you don’t need to either.

Explain how you release a state of the art model & make it cheap at the same time
