Bindu Reddy says he's been benchmarking Astra against Anthropic's Opus 5.5 with major customers. Under anonymous, price-hidden conditions, users prefer Astra for hardcore coding about 80% of the time, with notably strong engagement. He stresses the blind, price-concealed setup, implying pricing may be biasing perceived model preference.
