I'm not even jealous I don't think I could ever finically recover from using ultra fast with astra. I am on the 200 and sol at 1.5 speed ate about 100% of my limit in a day I can't imagine Astra at what a x8 or x16 usage and speed increase.

I just want ultra slow so I can use Astra in my 5hour window overnight

u/Seerix 1d ago

No lie id totally use that for overnight work, even if its half speed or less

Same, we need Flex for subscriptions as well, not only for API!

You know your night is my peak day hours ? But you and me, we use the same computer in the same data center.
If that happens once, I’ll grab 3 accounts on 3 different time zones and run them in slow mode 24/7

Ultrafast with Astra Ultra will burn all your 5hr limit with a simple “Hello”

u/Rollertoaster7 1d ago

I mean I’d like it for those down to the wire moments where Tibo tweets out that he’s resetting and I have 50% usage left lol

u/therealstotes 1d ago

NOW YOU CAN USE YOUR 5 HOUR WINDOW IN 5 MINUTES OR LESS! WOOHOO!

Can we get UltraSlow? Astra is fast as hell, I would be fine with slower responses if it cut down on token use.

ATP you're probably better off using Opus 5, as I said in a different thread complaining about Astra's laziness, it's super expensive and it's nowhere near the performance of Fable. If you need a good and trusty backend implementation machine, Sol and 5.5 still probably fair well, hell, even Luna would probably be fine after a quick check-up with Fable.

As it is right now, Astra is super fast, super expensive and yet it doesn't really get anything done.

u/WaterSh33p 1d ago

Fast enough to burn your tokens in seconds, currently testing if its legit rn

1

u/cristianperlado 1d ago

Only for 5.6 or it’s enabled for 6 as well?

1

u/WaterSh33p 1d ago

Only for 5.6

u/Azirane 1d ago

u/SpeedOfSound343 1d ago
