My experience as well.

For coding specifically, I've found 5.6-Sol > 6.0 Sol > Astra.

For modeling and artwork, Astra has been great routinely outperforming Kimi.

This is reminiscent to me of what Anthropic pulled back in February with their adaptive thinking rollout.

I can't wait for technology to catch up to a point where we can rid ourselves of this oligopoly.
