I took a ride in the hype train at first, but no, not AGI

Spent the $200 within 8 hours on Astra. At first I was blown away, but checked things more thoroughly the next day, and a lot of the stuff it build wasn’t working. Actually 3 of the 4 things I asked Astra to do didn’t work.

Quite disappointed. The demos focus mostly on 3D, Blender and games, but for coding and agentic use it was not an improvement at all for me. Maybe I could have prompted better, but when it spends 2+ hours on each task, you can’t really iterate and steer it. But still I feel like this is something AGI should have handled?

Now I’m back to my usual setup with KIMI K.3 and DeepSeek flash. Also keeping my max plan at both OpenAI and Claude, but $400+/month is starting to hurt.

What are your thoughts? Closing in on AGI or was this all a part of a coordinated marketing stunt?
