alt Hacker Newsidk, sol 6.1 is both cheap and capable. i've been using it exclusively, i don't need to care about usage, and it's really smart.
yes maybe opus 5.5 is stronger and flash is cheaper, but 6.1 strikes a good balance imo.

i have a feeling that Sol is just Astra low, but with lowest possible priority on the compute.

OpenAI models don’t come close to competing with deepseek in cost quality ratio. I have a $20 plus plan and I run out of my 5h limit in literal minutes, every tick of the harness is like 10% of my 5h limit.
You can in contrast get far more done with $20 worth of deepseek api spend. No comparison.
