A Reddit user reports OpenAI's experience has notably declined: after loving GPT-5.3-codex and GPT-5.6-Sol over the past six months, they find the latest frontier models underwhelming, more expensive, and worse than those older models — calling Astra "a literal loss of money." The thread asks whether others share the sentiment, reflecting disappointment among heavy users.
