My experience as well.
For coding specifically, I've found 5.6-Sol > 6.0 Sol > Astra.
For modeling and artwork, Astra has been great routinely outperforming Kimi.
This is reminiscent to me of what Anthropic pulled back in February with their adaptive thinking rollout.
I can't wait for technology to catch up to a point where we can rid ourselves of this oligopoly.
