Astra is a good model. It motivated me to spend my Saturday coding. It ate through 60% of my pro subscription using extra high and fast. It feels better than Sol in that it returns WAY faster. I was used to most tasks taking 20 mins, and now it's 4 mins. I also got it to spend more than one hour on a few.
It also feels like it understands long context/hard tasks better. I was working with Sol on a big feature and had created 4 stacked PRs and was working them individually. Astra managed to look at the 4 PRs together and come back with cohesive thoughts and opinions on what should change.
Overall happy, not feeling like AGI for coding, but a clear step-up over Sol. Given the clear difference in pricing, it will probably make me select models more. I used to only use Sol and get on the Pro subscription, but I don't think that will work out with Astra.
