I compared 2.5bn tokens of GPT-6 Astra vs Claude Fable 5.1 on real work. Astra runs about 45% cheaper per hour. But with some interesting caveats and some levelling out when you add opus agents in the mix Like if you want a full article / data breakdown 👇

What is all this crazy model debate? Fable literally burns my plan use at 3x the speed Astra has Fable is 5x more competent at orchestration and delivering cohesive code (I even get it to coordinate codex models) Astra is 5x more competent at games and 3D. The future is unfortunately different models for different uses. And yes, it will 100% be more money Now is the time to dial in and make some cash with it and stop bitching. These are unprecedented times that didn’t exist this time last year.

Has the GPT-6 Astra hype died? Or has it just become furniture Now the one shot novelty has worn off real devs are locked in leveraging it I’ve got it rigging models, building cities, refining UI. Nothings changed, just a new higher baseline than before

Using GPT-6 Astra to build a mini internal football physics engine to generate 3d action highlights for my football manager game It’s doing an insane job overall, but some of the basics are frustrating

What going viral on X brought my Paperroute Astra experiement Across two posts: • 17,930 likes • 870 comments • 5,198 registered players • Roughly 196 “it’s shit” comments • 1 death threat • 1 “hope you kill yourself” Roughly 91 likes for every “it’s shit”. Funny thing was I only released it because the first video got such good feedback and people wanted to play it. So I sunk 48hours into making it playable. The interesting part was how virality changed the response… Up to around 1m views, the first 600 or so comments were mainly positive. But then the floodgates opened. Replies became pretty much only negative, from a seemingly anti-ai crowd. The negativity seemed to fuel more views, which brought more hostility, and more views It felt like two stages of virality: first people sharing something they enjoyed, then people gathering around something they hated. Both kept the video moving. For the most part nothing useful came after the first million views

iPhone Duo Just gave devs Nightmares i have three apps and what do you mean i have to make them work now for this? It looks insane though. look at these RIDICULOUS transitions.

OK GPT-6 Astra is insane at making games. I remade Paperboy - everything modelled in Blender, rendered in browser. took ages to dial in the look and feel, models and rendering but my god its awesome. who wants a full walkthrough/breakdown?
