My life is currently divided into two categories: "Before reset" and "After I burn through all my tokens in four minutes."
At this point, I don't check the clock for the time anymore. I just look at it and sigh, "Only 3 hours and 14 minutes until being productive again
Hi Astra users. A reset and a quick update on quality issues that have been posted around.
Working with some of you, we have found and fixed the following issues:
- Some skills written for previous models were triggering too often or preventing the model from checking its work.
- An opt-in context management experiment that could cause early stops or replies to older messages. We've disabled it. Our rough estimate is that 4-5k users were affected by this experiment.
- We've also removed some badly configured engines that resulted in a measured quality degradation for a long tail of traffic flowing through them.
Weโve also made some more minor improvements and things should feel significantly better across the board. More consistent follow-through, better tracking of your latest message, and better checks on the work as itโs going through the motions.
The examples posted and all the users who worked directly with us were incredibly useful in helping fix things quickly. Always grateful for this incredible community.
And of course, a reset is also landing by midnight today.

When I showed it to my colleagues, every single one of them wanted it for their own hotel.
That's the moment I realized this wasn't just my problem to solve - it could be a real product.
