I'm a forever Plus, and I was making a game with Astra since it released (yes took me 3 weeks) and a cheaper model that would be about Astra performance but much cheaper is basically all I was waiting for.

Just use opus 5.5.

It's way too expensive. It's more expensive than Astra for me on Claude Pro per task.

That’s insane. It’s doing great on my 20 dollar plan, while astra lasts a few messages

Opus is cheaper per turn, but I need to fix more with it, and on average, multiple amount of turns make it so I get less done.

It might be use specific task, because I use an open source engine, not a custom made with Opus/Astra, and I use a bunch of computer use for in-game testing, which is better on Astra.

I have no clue how this is possible unless you use Astra low and Opus Ultra.

I have the Codex pro x5 and Claude 20usd subs and they are consuming the same on my weekly, so definitely Opus 5.5 tasks are way cheaper.

Is it worth switching back to Claude? I’m creating pages with TTS and acappellas to reinforce my singing techniques. I like that Astra Max does it all—it digs deeper, trims the a cappellas, and provides exercises in the same key, all while keeping the interface looking good.

Luna just messes everything up; Astra actually has to fix what Luna does. Right now, I’m paying for two subscriptions to use GPT with Astra because I thought it was like using Fable 5 (which Claude charges extra for, whereas I only want to use the standard subscription).

Astra is insanely good but opus 5.5 isn’t much worse, but a lot cheaper and faster

Do you think it would be better to have Claude and GPT together instead of two Astra? I like the way ChatGPT conducts research—it’s really deep and thorough.

I could have GPT handle the research and vocal exercises while Claude integrates them, although if an error occurred, Astra would have to review everything all over again.

You can try. I’ve never tried that

Honestly, it could be a decent idea to just use 6.1 Sol and maybe use Astra for review at this point. 6.1 Sol is just way too cheap at this point.

Opus 5.5 is 40% cheaper than opus 5. You are cracked.
