User says OpenAI's Sol 6 wastes their time, switches to $100 Claude plan and prefers it

A long Reddit post slams OpenAI's Sol 6 for stopping halfway through tasks, giving terse answers, and forcing repeated prompting — arguing that cheaper models that waste user time aren't progress. The author, after losing access to the $200 tier, moved to the $100 Claude plan and finds Opus 5.5 and Fable 5.1 far better at finishing tasks, while noting even the once-excellent Astra now feels degraded.
