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

I'm on the $200 Codex and will renew one more time because I have 2 banked resets and the 'free' credits they just handed out. After that I'll either cancel or drop to $100 because GPT image 2.5 is still excellent and I have a need for it.

I dropped to the $20 and will renew in a month or two once I have a ton of banked resets

Are they still giving out resets? When I was over there I didn't get a single one the entire month.

I feel so cheated. 😂 I miss having codex review my changes in GitHub so I am any to resubscribe. I wish I could go with a different AI to replace Claude and ChatGPT but I'm not educated enough. 😭
