It seems like OAI, with the GPT-6 models, focused a lot more on computer use, math, and maybe spatial/visual intelligence, more so that code. Compared to Ant. that seem to focus on code much more.

Reminds me of GPT-5, smart but wrote crap code, until they improved the code training with 5.3 and 5.4.

It's really true.

I think frontier models feel terrible after a new model requires you to do less babysitting, it's just really hard to go back once you've had to handhold less.

The only way I use Astra and 6.1 Sol now is if they're being orchestrated by Opus 5.5 so I don't have to talk to them directly.

GPT-6.1-Sol is so incredibly sloppy and dumb, it's embarassing.
