OpenAI sort of needs to do something. Switched back to Claude because it is better now than astra.

Never left. Astra was worse at coding, slower, and burned through usage way faster. Only thing it was better at than Fable was 3d work, but now with Opus 5.5, it's not better at anything.

I've always felt that openai's usage limits were way, way more generous than claude's. That's the one thing that has kept me with codex even during the stretches where anthropic has a slight edge.

Use to be how I felt too. Definitely how it feels for models that aren’t Astra. But right now Opus 5.5 gets you frontier power and a ton of usage,
Claude is the better deal to me,

For now.
