"Not AGI": user burns $200 in 8 hours on GPT-6 Astra, 3 of 4 tasks broken
Firm-Club-8334 · reddit · 2026-09-07
A sober first-hand review of GPT-6 Astra: the author's $200 quota was spent within 8 hours, and 3 of 4 requested tasks produced non-working results. Demos showcase 3D/Blender/games, but for coding and agentic use it showed no improvement, with single tasks taking 2+ hours and leaving no room to iterate. The user went back to KIMI K.3 and DeepSeek flash, while keeping $400+/month in max subscriptions — and questions whether the hype was a coordinated marketing stunt.
