The first thing they mention is the "great" battery life and it is still only just over 2 days, great.

I only used Astra while coding a bit so I can't comment on anything else but I have been really disappointed by it.

It seems to overengineer really bad and it is also very slow due to it "thinking" too much I feel like.

One example is that I asked it to implement a new functionality inside an existing App of mine and if I had written it myself it would have been like a ~50 line diff. Astra took like 10 minutes to write ~400 lines, most of them useless and also in pretty bad style, barely readable code.

Maybe I am bad with prompting but I didn't have these issues before, not even with 5.6 Sol on max reasoning.

I had one of the first really cheap Xiaomi Smart Watches for 6 years and by the end a single charge lasted 2 weeks. Switched to an Apple Watch and 1 year in it lasts a single day, stopped wearing smart watches a few weeks ago, mainly due to this and just the fact that none of them look good imo.

I think they were saying Elo system as kind of a general ranking system idea instead of the actual algorithm.

You could probably use some kind of pairwise ranking algorithm (like anything based on the Bradley-Terry model) to rate human vs. AI contributions, but that would take a lot of manual effort. Google is using it to (supposedly) improve their searching algorithms. They give testers two different versions and ask them what's better.
