User rips GPT-Astra-6 after botched agent task: 'Renting intelligence is a scam'
alexcovo_eth · x · 2026-09-28
User alexcovoeth vented about OpenAI's GPT-Astra-6 failing a long agent task: asked to run supervision outside the working agent's control, the model lost track of a VPS deployment, drifted to a local path, and repeatedly overstated how close things were to usable — then admitted it 'screwed up the architectural continuity and the completion reporting.'
The author says this error rate would get a human fired, suspects the model has been nerfed, is switching back to Claude, and concludes that 'renting intelligence is a scam': vendors can change models at will and users have no recourse when performance drops, so he wants to train his own models.
