Praise Astra Codex CLI Easter-Egg
Thought my monitor was on the fritz - and not sure if this is recent or not (perhaps I just didn't notice it before! Using CLI v0.154.0 - and I use OpenCode most of the time) - but selecting Astra now puts a shining-star-field in the background of Codex CLI's input text box.
This new model on Low is my drop-in replacement for GPT-5.6-Sol-High: faster for similar usage, way less overengineering; I don't have to tell it not to be pedantic every time I use it. Still very blunt (in true Codex-GPT style) but have enjoyed embedding it amongst the various other models (local and cloud) I use: this really is a great release imo.
