OpenAI Codex lead Tibo (@thsottiaux) calibrates Astra reasoning effort: GPT-6 Astra on low already outperforms GPT-5.6 Sol on high. If you were happy with Sol on high, move Astra down to low or medium to avoid over-spending effort.
OpenAI Codex lead Tibo (@thsottiaux) pushes back on burn-rate concerns: at roughly equivalent output, GPT-6 Astra is about ~50% cheaper per task than Sol. Paired with his earlier calibration that Astra on low already beats Sol on high, developers can dial effort down for cost control.
OpenAI Codex/ChatGPT lead Tibo (@thsottiaux) says Astra usage for long-tail power users logged in with a ChatGPT account has been improved: same quality, and on the long tail up to ~3–4× less subscription usage drawn. Direct win for long-horizon coding-agent sessions.
OpenAI Codex/ChatGPT lead Tibo (@thsottiaux) said OpenAI will do a global usage reset for all paid subscriptions so people can keep using Astra after burning through quota. Expected around 6pm PST today.
