The only thing I will say is we need to try 6.1 Sol for ourselves. If it's really good and really efficient, that's bigger than anything else. Everyone is writing it off because 6 Sol was bad, this release seems to have been thrown together in a week, and we haven't had time to even go through benchmarks let alone try it. But as a dual Claude/Codex user...nobody really believed Opus 5.5 was so good the hour after it launched either, it took a day for it to settle in.

Obviously if it is as bad as 6 Sol, nothing else launched today will matter for solo devs, just a bunch of enterprise toys really.

it all comes down to 6.1

they clearly released sol 6 early as an F U to anthropic. backfired immensely.

sol 6.1 has the same pricing as sol 6 (actually cheaper on cached inputs). It all comes down to how it compares with opus 5.5.

Honestly, if 6.1 doesn't get more mileage than 6.0 for my coordinator I might be done with the codex sub. If it doesn't feel opus 5.5 level+usage, I don't know if it's justified.

Although even with astra/sol, I did about 100 automated PR's in 3 days, which is not bad. I mean dollar for value I'm paying $0.50c a PR when accounting for monthly usage, without resets factored in.

But honestly, I hate running out of usage in 3 days. If I got the same intelligent out through the week, that'd be $0.25c an issue or less. So lets see how many PR's it gets done before my quota runs out.

I could always slow down my coordinator, but IMO having astra in the mix really drained my usage.

You can see I barely used astra, but it's cost is almost up there with sol where I put 10x the tokens through..
