OpenAI Codex lead Tibo (@thsottiaux) pushes back on burn-rate concerns: at roughly equivalent output, GPT-6 Astra is about ~50% cheaper per task than Sol. Paired with his earlier calibration that Astra on low already beats Sol on high, developers can dial effort down for cost control.

Key Takeaways

  • ✓Pricing: Astra ~50% cheaper per task than Sol at similar output.
  • ✓Calibration: lower effort tiers are often enough.
  • ✓Impact: helps Codex/ChatGPT users manage Astra quota burn.
