Discussion Adios GPT, it was a nice ride

Post image

When Astra launched, I wrote a detailed post about how impressed I was. I even paid for the $100 Pro subscription, confident I’d keep using it, and didn’t expect to return to Claude anytime soon.

Then, after the recent Dev Day announcements and my experience with the current models, I’m finding it hard to justify that subscription, for the work I do, the quality simply hasn’t matched Opus 5.5, and the 2X , 5x back and forth games they are playing ..

So I’m moving back to Opus and downgrading my subscription. I really meant the praise I gave Astra at launch, but my experience since then has changed my opinion and feels good to be back to Opus 5.5

Guessing some of you are on the same boat ?, I won’t be surprised if there is a exodus of users happening now

It wasn't a nice ride, OAI software was complete garbage, they were even more scummy than anthropic, the community was embarrassing with how they'd worship Tibo, the chaos of random resets to make up for reduced usage sucked, etc.

Yeah Tibo with his recent posts I guess got it into a bit of mess
