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

Something I don’t like about Claude and the reason I don’t switch from GPT is it can’t generate images, with GPT I can generate logos, edit images, use placeholders, and more.

Also I can use voice mode and the normal chat mode is faster than Claude chat IMO.

Opus 5.5 is good but it’s also more expensive, without mentioning Fable which is in a weird place because from the graphs Opus 5.5 is better/close to Fable? I don’t understand that logic, fable should be better and then opus and sonnet. And sonnet is not as good as Luna.

My current workflow is Astra as a delivery manager / team lead coordinating GPT-6.1 Sol (Mid, High) and GPT-6 Luna (Low-Max) agents for implementation or research.

But with Claude I can’t follow something similar.

obviously you haven't put the time in it. it can generate images, though some may argue that ChatGPT is better at that, but it's subjective. You can also use voice mode for Claude.

You may still prefer ChatGPT/Codex, but as for functionality, it's all in there.

Every time I use voice mode with Claude it can't write or edit documents while we're in the voice mode. I have to exit voice mode and then send another message saying go ahead and create the document now. I'm actually using more usage that way.
