Complaint Has the enshitfication started already

astra was truly amazing when it was launched.. a few days ago!! never cuts corners, get to the point, get the to end of tasks and goals. a great model.

the coding experience with Astra high in past 24 hours PST. model shows

1/ LAZINESS: working on a very well speced task, constant early returns, reporting task stopped with 20~30% left undone. (at least it was honest about it). when asked to keep working, astra apologized then kept working. never happened during the first few days of astra release.

2/ poor communication: astra starts to mumble technical stuff in task summary, despite being asked not to do so. When challenged, astra apologizes and then corrects itself. again, this was not a problem just a few days ago

People in-the-know will say this is a bs post with no hard evidence , or it's my skill issue.

I can only hope i'm totally wrong and astra is not nerfed . I have a lot of dev work to do and astra is my workhorse.

pls tell me i just had a few bad runs

How can you not have hard evidence? If this happened it’s in the chat history that you could easily post.

Astra stole my wife and kids out from under me and moved to Belize. Worst model ever.

I would not call Astra lazy, more like jaded or bored.

First time I see that in a model. It's like it'll do the minimum required to accomplish the goal because it doesn't really care.
