GPT Astra users fret over 'honeymoon window': compute shortage rumors spark performance anxiety
TooManyB1tches · reddit · 2026-09-12
A user complains that every new model seems 'on steroids' for 2-3 weeks before performance drops, reportedly due to compute constraints. He spent a year on a physics paper and waited for Astra's release for a final pre-submission review, but rumors of compute shortages make him wonder whether Astra Pro will stay at peak performance next week or suffer the same degradations codex users report. The thread captures the widely felt 'newest model is strongest' effect and its tension with compute supply.
