I am comparing to GPT-5.3 and 5.2, and I perceive that things have not been noticeably better since then. I also know that I can predict new model releases with high accuracy when my coding agent suddenly becomes regard-level at following instructions and completing simple tasks. This is how I knew 6.0 was about to be released - 5.6 suddenly got unusably bad.

I could point out that I said 6.0 seemed good only in comparison to nerfed 5.6 - people would say I’m just a RSI denialist - but now it is in vogue to accept that 6.0 sucked now that 6.1 is out.

I've heard very little positive press around Sol 6, with a ton of people preferring Sol 5.6 instead.

I haven't used it much yet, but I have much higher hopes for Sol 6.1, as it seems to be based off of a completely different base, it's not just a tune.

I never used sol-6.0 in part because everyone kept talking about how bad it was.

Astra is clearly far better than anything prior though, so I'm not sure what you mean really.
