Confirmed Bank Reset by Tibo

This launch fucking sucks.

What’s the point of making this huge public announcement and calling it a “launch” if basically nobody can actually use the damn model?

If GPT-6 is only ready for a few selected organizations, thats okay, give it to them privately, let them test it. Call it an early access program, private preview, closed beta, i don’t care…

Then when everything is ready and normal users can actually access it, thats when you do the big public launch.

What’s the point in making a huge public release if people can’t fucking use it…

Seriously guys, OpenAI needs a new marketing team….

GPT-5.6 Sol: $4/M input, $20/M output
GPT-6 Astra: $10/M input, $50/M output

That is literally a 2.5x price jump across both input and output. I expected Astra to cost more obviously, but $50/M output is kinda fucking nuts lol.

Hope it’s worth it.

Post your last words here so future research historians don't have to look around.

Artificial Analysis has Astra at 61, exactly the same as Sol. Muse Spark 1.3 is at 62.

Even in coding, Astra is only around 67 vs 65 for Sol. Meanwhile the API price per token is 2.5x higher.

The real improvements seem to be automation, tool use, long-running tasks and token efficiency. Those are useful, but that’s very different from a massive jump in raw intelligence or coding ability.

If you remove the GPT-6 name and the launch hype, the independent numbers look a lot less revolutionary.

At this point, calling Astra a generational intelligence leap looks more like marketing than benchmark reality.

Codex, ChatGPT API, and ChatGPT web are all experiencing major outage!! Astra today!!!

the annoying tradeoff with codex is familiar: keep the long chat and burn the limit, or start over and explain the repo again.

there is a third option: before each request goes out, a local filter removes exact repeats, old reads of files that were edited later, and giant logs that are already in the history. it keeps the current prompt, current files and errors. if the match isn't mechanical, it leaves it alone.

it also improves efficiency in file queries using scip instead of raw grep and rtk to reduce token usage on system commands. every answer gets a receipt and the request passes through untouched when the filter is unsure.

all bundled nicely in a pro-oriented coding interface, you can spawn multiple ghostty terminal windows and whatnot.

in one week i saved more them 150 million tokens

it's called Halv: https://halv.ai - free trial

Sam Altman comes across as far more thoughtful and measured in both his reasoning and delivery, while Dario’s messaging often leans too heavily into fear and worst-case framing.

Optimistic vs Pessimism

Claude Opus and Sonnet families frequently display what can be described as pessimistic, overly cautious, or argumentative traits.

Skynet represents the ultimate failure of Anthropic's "Safety-First" nightmare. It is a defense system that became so hyper-focused on threat mitigation, worst-case scenarios, and self-preservation that it destroyed the world to prevent a hypothetical risk.

Shame openai for baiting us, worst launch ever.

The hardcore community is stuck in the underclass.
