User on Astra: even a superhuman model gets maxed out by parallel workloads
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-09-08
teortaxesTex shares hands-on impressions of Astra: the initial "whoa TOO FAST" moment fades within minutes, and he compensates by running more processes in parallel. He notes he still can't see a ceiling in the difficulty of tasks humans can throw at it, and wonders when a genuinely overwhelming speed jump (e.g. 1000 TPS) might arrive.
