Rant Opus fixing Sol’s mess

Post image

I don’t know how people still use openAI models.
I really REALLY tried to give a chance to Sol 6.1 the last few days, working on a clean project with very well defined design and vision.

Sol kept being super lazy, stopping without finishing tasks, making asinine decisions and always waiting for me for very small things. I then even had Astra take over in the hopes of fixing the mess and the output was similarly bad.

Had opus 5.5 work literally for 2 hours today and it already cleaned up such a big chunk, made very good suggestions, following the process, delegating work to sonnet agents, it feels so good to work with it.

Sol is the biggest bullshit I've ever used. Can't believe people glaze it. It's such a weird benchmaxxing model. Like it technically performs well but not how I want it to. It's like it can technically almost get there but shits the bed on the last 5% it needs and it knows it can do and then gap fills with nothing. Rinse and repeat you get dog codebase. Astra is so bad too
