It’s a model issue. I’m in the process of switching my company’s primary AI provider after several days of testing Astra.

Even Fable feels like an idiot now. It’s not the code quality, it’s the improvements in communication and judgement. It is an absolute breath of fresh air. I was spending a lot of tokens and building special workflows to reign in Claude’s horrendous prose.

Astra just communicates well out of the box!!!

Codex has worse UX, but Astra has fewer qualms about building you a custom harness overlay.
