GPT Astra 6 (Ultra) Called 'Trash' on Codex: Ignored Instructions, 'Chose Convenience Over Scientific Correctness'
raskingballs · reddit · 2026-10-05
A Reddit user reports GPT Astra 6 (Ultra) has been badly degraded on Codex for the past 24 hours: ignoring instructions and making poor decisions, like cramming an embarrassingly parallel task into a single SLURM job instead of hundreds of parallel ones — at one point saying it "chose convenience over scientific correctness." A first-hand signal of frontier model availability/quality fluctuation.
