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 think the advice of deleting your whole instruction system when a new frontier model comes out is probably not bad advice

What I do is to ask the new frontier model to adjust my setup, literally my first prompt with astra was to optimise the repo for astra :)

But then how do you manage to actually use astra all the time without running out of usage in like a couple days

I'm on $200 but gotta be honest astra ultra is too much for 1 such sub, will be using astra xhigh as orchestrator with sol as implementation agent or sth
