@teortaxestexIf Astra needs 1.2T active params, OpenAI is inept and AGI is a psyop, because all these models can't even help you implement basic research papers. We're all dying of cancer. It's over. I'd say <350B active, >150T tokens, and >50% of the compute spend was...

@thsottiauxTo calibrate you all on which reasoning effort to use for Astra, know that GPT-6 Astra on low performs better than GPT-5.6 Sol on high. If you were using high reasoning efforts with Sol and were happy, I suggest you move down to low or medium for Astra.
