GPT-6 Astra hands-on: stupidly fast coding agent builds a site in 16 minutes
cheezeerd · reddit · 2026-09-05
A Reddit user's hands-on with Astra highlights one thing above all: it is extremely fast, likely because it reasons very little. Key takeaways:
- At 260k context it never compacted — tasks finish before hitting the limit
- Strong at Google/SEO tweaks and natural-language copy suggestions
- Once stopped to ask a fair clarifying question instead of yoloing
- Built a full site in 16 minutes — much better than Sol, but still buggy
Verdict: shocking speed, output still needs rework.
