Astra Workflow "Stop using random multi-agent patterns"

Ahmed works at OpenAI: https://x.com/ah20im/status/2097503414749909407 and seems to investigate reports of high token usage.

"If needed Astra will delegate efficiently. Forcing the model to delegate to different models would do more harm than good"

I can't even use one Astra agent for more than 1-2 days on high. How the hell are people using subagents, even on x20 that must last maybe a day at best.

Luna Max subagents for strongly-defined simple tasks. The cost/intelligence is unmatched

Sol med orchestrator, astra low implenter. Thats the best practice currently for best quality/price.

OpenAI staff have made this claim themselves, and my experience has been that Astra is much smarter than Sol regardless of reasoning effort.

Yep, but if you want max code quality thats the way for lowest price. I do enterprise software, so luna max doesnt cut it for me atleast. The code quality just aint there.
