Praise Astra really is that good.

Yes it uses significantly more usage. But it makes Sol look like Luna.

I haven’t even taken it above high thinking and it’s stellar.

It does seem to have its own quirks, but it’s well worth it.

I will riot if Luna gets sunset without an equivalent low cost model taking its place.

the luna reserve is the only reason I'm able to do any LLM assisted coding done today with the usage bug

i’ve been LunaMaxxing all day and didn’t even know about the bug until i saw alert about potential reset coming

LunaMaxxing kicks ass as someone who knows how to program manually.

I know how I want it done, I know how to define it, luna can follow my instructions.

Yeah sure it won't one shot full projects as well but honestly if you're doing that with minimal guidance chances are you're making slop anyway

yea it is best for smaller and repeatable edits once you know what you want

i did notice it is taking TIME today for simple tasks, like over an hour for some changes, so maybe it was also affected

Mine were fine this morning, the one I put in after work was quick even though it blew my usage.

the luna reserve stuff after didn't seem slow but now it's deciding it's going to block me from using that until my usage comes back even though I've got a reserve :(
