And one more thing... 👇

[Volo @volokoby]

I just had Astra High investigate an issue with my server architecture.

It worked for 5 minutes and used about 30% of my 5-hour limit on the $20 Plus plan. And honestly, that’s actually pretty good.

Now, even with my basic subscription, I can actually use Astra from time to time, even on High, to solve complex problems.

@MatthewBerman @bot @SpaceXAI I use Grok Bot as a Nutrition Mentor to track my diet and save the data to Notion using a plugin

[Volo @volokoby]

But there's some good news, too!

The @SpaceXAI team just gave me exactly 0 free codes for Grok @bot .

Anyone who leaves a comment under this post explaining what they plan to use Grok 4.7 for as soon as it's released will receive a free $20 code from someone-but definitely not from me.

@farzyness Grok 4.7 needs a few more days to cook.

We might have penalized response length too much (or something) in RL, as it still gives up on hard tasks (that it can do!) too early and isn’t yet sufficiently rigorous in checking its work.

[Volo @volokoby]

Over the past few days, I've checked X probably 100 times to see what's new with Grok 4.7 🫠

It's sad, but I can only hope that we'll see a model that's at least truly superior to Sol Max in terms of coding

I don't know why, but I felt more confident entrusting the implementation of my layout artifacts to Opus 4.6 Max than to Luna XHigh 😅🤔

[Volo @volokoby]

Yes, I’m sure all of us ChatGPT Plus subscribers have noticed that Luna has started using up the limit literally 3-4 times faster than before.

In fact, this is a huge disappointment, because for me personally, this model was Codex’s biggest selling point compared to its competitors
(far more valuable than Astra, Fable, etc.).

[Volo @volokoby]

App Store approved the update to my app within a few hours. Was I just lucky, or have the folks at @Apple really started approving updates much faster?

[Volo @volokoby]

I'm just wondering why the luna max isn't included in this list of recommended models in codex 🤔

[Volo @volokoby]

update: no 🥲

[Volo @volokoby]

wait...

Cursor is free with supergrok?

and I’m only finding this out now??

pov: all of us right now

[Volo @volokoby]

Grok Bot is now available on Android 🥳

[Volo @volokoby]

I had such high hopes...

pov: you’re on chatgpt plus for $20, waiting for Astra to finally drop

[Volo @volokoby]

The release has happened, and most people are disappointed, and to be honest, so am I. It didn't live up to the expectations I had after all that hype.

[Sam Altman @sama]

GPT-6 Astra is here.

We hope it will begin to enable a new generation of entrepreneurship, scientific discovery, and building.

We believe it is the best model in the world for computer use, professional work, science, coding, cybersecurity, and more.

It took us some extra time to ensure that we could meet the safety and alignment standards required for this capability level, but we think you’ll find it worth the wait.

It scores 98% on FrontierMath Tier 4, 99.9% on ARC-AGI 3, and 100% on ExploitBench.

[Volo @volokoby]

Oohhh yeah

[Volo @volokoby]

@frederickjames Hi, thanks for sharing your experience.

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on using Google Cloud-especially with the credits offered through the Startup Program - and whether it's worth building your infrastructure on their solutions?

[Claude @claudeai]

We’re introducing Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1.

They're the world’s most advanced models for coding and knowledge work.
