Comment on Ask HN: Is GPT-6 Astra worth the 2.5x cost increase over GPT-5.6 Sol?

Comments

For the average person on here no. In fact 5.6 is probably unneeded. What DeepSeek 731 flash offers most wouldn't need anything else.

I use to want to use the best model because I wanted the highest quality output but they all produce that now. If you are trying to understand an ancient language humans don't or solve a math mystery or fixing old undocumented firmware maybe. If you are trying to create a react app or backend I wouldn't bother.

The rule of thumb is if Stack overflow could answer your question don't bother with Astra or Sol.
