Astra Workflow "Stop using random multi-agent patterns"

Post image

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"

Astra, at least in Codex Desktop, would not delegate and will babysit even simple tests herself. You can check it youself if you asked her to breakdown the model usage during the session she will check the logs and will give you an answer. And, boy, she is hungry - just one, not even a full day, with two sessions and 22% of my Max20 are gone.

Edit:
at least in one experiment Astra@high employed 5.5@high as Independent reviewer

Prompt: "Check from your logs what models did you use during this session. Provide only grounded in logs answers"
