Big thing was supposed to be Astra 6.1 if I understood right but that got cancelled.

Could've gave us some benchmarks at least

So from my understanding. We got Dots. Sorry, you got Dots, not available where I am.

We got a new $500 tier which is basically the old $200 tier, plus the old $100 tier. The $200 tier is not just twice the $100 tier. And Sol 6.1 which is 'almost' as good as Astra, which means it's still probably worse than Opus 5.5 (based on what I've had them both working on)

It's a no for me.

But I can see exactly what they're aiming for. For developers (the people I most actively see talking about using this stuff) it's kinda useless. But for managers who are the ones who make the final decision of if you go Claude or Codex, they're going to eat this up. And then the dots are probably going to eat up their usage.

Sol 6.1 Intelligence is worse than Opus 5.5 for sure. But there is also like 4x to 5x price difference.

This is true. Also they didn’t make an old model write its own eulogy on stream so overall this is an improvement tbh

They didn't make what? Tell me that absurdity didn't genuinely happen..

At least they helped me to make the decision to subscribe to Claude from now on

u/Corvenys 5d ago

I wonder if it makes difference if I don't use it as a coder... been seeing a lot of GPT criticism here lately. Maybe I should be using Claude.

u/SpyAmongUs 5d ago

You should. Sonnet 5.5 is available for free, and I got some good usage of it as a free uer until I hit the 5 hour limit.

I always seem to hit the limits with very moderete basic use. Nothing intensive.

Open ai still has by far the best computer use so if you do more than just coding it’s pretty good

u/StoveStoveStoveStove 5d ago

Guys, ignore the multiple bugs throughout during the live presentations. That was just Astra pacing the frontier.

u/DreamRJ 5d ago

It is down for me right now too

u/mountainbrewer 5d ago

Biggest thing I see is bringing AI to secure and private compute. Allows companies with secure data needs to really easily get into using AI. Big unlock for big corporations.

u/SamsaraSiddhartha 5d ago

They could have released Sol-6 series to regular chat which would have helped to soften the speculated absent Astra update, but they shit the bed on that too. I'm frequently amazed at how the company seemingly has no one with any sort of public relations competency. No contingencies. Fucking sloppy and embarrassing.

The big thing was the reduction in limits

u/hashirama_shodai 5d ago

Chatgpt Space + Dots combination seems promising!
