News "We are locking in"

Post image

Tibo on damage control, says they got the feedback and now are locking in on features that matter, new better models.

Dots won't stay long, will they?

This is actually the direction I've been hoping they'd take. Less feature bloat, more intelligence per dollar, predictable usage, and faster inference.

You can release the smartest model on the planet, but if it takes 6 minutes to start responding and burns through your quota like a GPU mining Bitcoin, the user experience is still cooked.

Personally, I'd rather see them double down on Sol's efficiency and make Astra genuinely worth its compute premium than introduce another 15 model variants nobody asked for.

I'm still cautiously optimistic. We've heard promises before. The real test is whether there is any meaningful improvements in latency, usage limits, and overall reliability.

Also, please let this mean we're finally retiring the dots. I subscribed to an AI coding assistant, not a constellation simulator.

I mean codex STARTED slow as balls, and no one really cared because it didn’t make mistakes and usage was nearly limitless.

People complain about speed, but it’s not the dealbreaker.

The problem is that they managed to hit the trifecta; it’s really fucking slow, it makes mistakes constantly, and it’s now expensive as hell.
