    Comparison was done in the scope of coderabbit AI code review tool, which sadly makes it practically irrelevant.

    My personal experience as a software engineer, and a former security researcher who did manual code audit, is that this code review tool has such poor results that it isn't worth the "noise" and friction it causes developers during C/I code review

      Yeah I personally don’t understand the point of AI code review tools all that much, as AI is already generating the code as well. All of these AI code review tools create so much noise, yet don’t catch the really important things.

        What really important things are human reviews catching in your org?

        I just feel more and more like the effort invested in manual reviews is not worth it

        Code review tools are designed for less organised dev teams that don’t do PRs and mandatory human reviews already.

        It is papering over a lower level of competency without having to invest in actual human oversight or real process improvement.

    Astra seems to be really slow. Maybe it intends to read more context. But from my experience it is definitely slower than 5.6 sol when handling same tasks.

    Both OAI and Anthropic seem to have released a model that is slightly better but cost ~2x the previous iteration. Interesting play

      That should be expected based on the scaling laws that we expect; larger models are more intelligent and cost more. Now it's very unfortunately that they don't publish the size of their models.

      Roughly how we price (high skilled) human labor.

      Astra and Sol are the same price when you factor in token efficiency

        I don't know, in the Codex app, it burns the limit much faster.

      Interesting comment because it is true that Astra is costlier for the same intelligence tasks as Sol.

      But this is not the same for Fable at all.
