Blogger haider shares first impressions of Astra, calling it the most "AGI-like" model he has used or seen tested: it combines Fable-style high-speed, high-IQ performance with Sol-style quirky personality. He notes people are still figuring out how to actually use it, and by then the next model will likely ship.
