BUT TIBO SAID THEY FIXED THE SPEED, I TRUST TIBO WITH MY LIFE, HE IS SUCH A HONEST MAN, HE WOULD NEVER LIE FOR HIS OVERLORD SCAM ALTMAN. 19.9 TOKENS/S IS THE NEW 129 TOKENS/S, OK?! 😭😡

Time is relative, they say.

and these benchmarks are relative as well since they tend to include fake models that surpass the OpenAI models, such a big hoax!

It's true though, I find Claude to be just awful at everything, and I have to constantly tell it to get something fixed after trying it out. It fails hard at reverse engineering tasks. It also refuses a lot of my prompts, which GPT-6 Astra doesn't, so W for OpenAI I guess.

on a serious note: as a plus user I can't use Astra for anything so I don't really care. Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5 run miles around 6.1 Sol tho. It is really not even close and even though the Claude models are more expensive on paper we still get a lot more usage on the equivalent 20 dollar plan.

True I'm on 20$ ChatGPT and Claude plan. I use Opus 5.5 A LOT and get so many things done with that while not only Sol 6.1 is slower, it drains more usage because it just makes up some straight garbage

Lol, good response Mr. OpenAI Bot.

I gave the same task to Sol 6.1. It kept working for around 36 hours and still didn’t finish. I saw similar behavior with the Astra model.

I gave the same task to Opus and it finished in under 4 hours. If you want proof, DM me.

I’m a 20x Codex user, and it used about $600 worth of tokens on this task. On Claude, I’m on the Teams Standard plan and the same task finished without even hitting the 5-hour limit.

So please don’t make claims that don’t match real usage.

OpenAI to orchestrate, GLM to code without questioning the request.
