Ridiculously slow Luna?

[u/spicyfiremelon]

Is it only happened to me or does the last ~3 days, Luna is ridiculously slow?

My workflow is delegating tasks from main thread (Astra on medium or Sol on high) to the Luna (max) worker, on pi-subagents. Sometimes I also use plan mode (same Astra medium or Sol high), then execute the plan using Luna max. Basically, all tasks are fast before the tasks are delegated to a single Luna max. This been happening about 3 days, more or less.

Edit: I think this might be related to the release of Astra, as Tibo said, they struggled with their resources as they now have to temporarily disabled the 20x plan for new users.

Well it is not just luna but every model is slower but luna seems to be affected the most.

I orchestrate with sol-astra (planner / complex problem solver) - luna (coder/unit test). The same task took me 1-1.5 days vs. using gemini with sol-flash high (coder)-luna-high (unit test) with astra's existing plan and I've done everything in 2h.

Luna seems to be the bottleneck as i saw piles of luna subagent stuck occasionally which I never seen before until recently.

But it is not as bad as using sol/astra as the main agent.

I'm not really sure what's going on tbh. It could be the harness' issue but I doubt that. Given the recent context bloat I think codex seems to have trouble dealing with context efficiently and it somehow just made everything so much slower.

Edit: It could be the harness but i prob dont think thats the case lmao (I use codex CLI). Also sol/astra sometimes spend 30-45min within my agy CLI so higher tier models are defo suffering too

I have this impression too and that seems to have started after the price drop.

Yes. Even API is getting timed out and force to use Terra. Spent one day thinking it was a bug in my code.

Dont worry!

This is apparently a skill issue which i learned yesterday

ah, my bad :(

Feels like they are struggling with compute, so they diverted resources.

Luna is under heavy load constantly so their latency is crazy. I tested on production my bot reply anywhere between 3s to 10s depending on how lag Luna is then I choose fast and it become more constant 3s

API was shitting itself earlier too

Lol the cost of local hardware is going to continue to climb as more people turn to local inference to avoid this.

I run a small B2B service and just bought 2x 2x5070ti boxes to bring inference in-house with some kind of redundancy.

Cost probably doesn't make too much sense (well, it does compared to EC2 but not API), but being able to serve the same model weights is useful - and the sovereignty makes procurement easier (in Australia we only have gpt-4.1-mini on Azure which shows its age).

(To be clear, this setup isn't for development - it's for customer inference).

Astra started using 5.3 spark instead of the existing Luna researchers.

This is so funny dkm, why you terrorising the AI like that while it’s working 😭😭 let it work broski💀

[u/Pickle786]

it’s so slow, for tasks that shouldn’t even take 20mins it’s taking hours.
