Dev dumps 6x-Sol over quality, burns $200 Astra sub in half a day, moves to Claude Code

A Reddit user details why he's switching to Claude Code: 6x-Sol and 6.1-Sol forget to finish tasks, fail to validate their work even when asked, and refuse basic actions like logging into a locally running app to test. Meanwhile Astra's pricing is brutal—he burned through a $200 subscription in half a day. Claude Code with Opus 5.5 is usable, and Fable's separate limits still leave a fair amount. He wishes OpenAI would ship a real Sol model based on 5.6-Sol.
