Have you checked out the (seemingly new) "pro" mode for reasoning? See -> developers.openai.com/api/docs/gui... It is also available separately on OpenRouter -> openrouter.ai/openai/gpt-6... The "standard" mode is here -> openrouter.ai/openai/gpt-6...

That’s encouraging. Clean, well-commented SVG structure matters almost as much as the visual result if the asset is meant to stay editable.

What I find interesting is that each model has a default style across innovations.

So useful. Would be useful to show current pricing rather than the launch price of sol/terra/luna

Too much training and it's no longer outsider art. Just like in real life :(

finally, a pelican pointing to the left

Also: Terra xhigh above is riding left.

I dig the single pelican riding against the flow

Those pelicans came a long way (on a bike) 😄

So far the vibes feel better, at least for my own personal prompting style

Lol, pelicanmaxing on the way

You should make a chart and/or video showing the evolution of pelicans drawn for different price points; that would be neat to see. In the above, for example, compare Astra (xhigh) with Terra (max).

Been using Astra this morning. Finding that it’s useful at one area most models struggle— good overview diagrams. The other models lack the metacognition and the diagrams are always literal. Astra seems to be able to step back and summarize better.

Wait, what's GPT-5-astra?

It _feels like_ Astra remembered choices it made at lower reasoning levels (assuming those ran first) or Astra just makes more consistent artistic choices when approaching the task from scratch.

I think this is the first model to properly put the left leg on the far side

gpt-5 astra?

Well, the addition of the neckerchief does it.

If there is one thing this comparison proves is that the 5.6 Terra model should not exist. In almost every level it fails even Luna in basic expectations.

Not a single bike helmet. Proof that AI companies don’t care about safety.

*not* pleased.

One minor detail missing... bsky.app/profile/nafn...

It's funky that they each have, like, a *style*. (Which incidentally suggests they're not spitting them out from training set memory, or at least not only.)

now that's an elegant pelican

Nobody is going to pay 63 cents for the Astra pelican when they can get the Luna pelican for 2 cents.

Keeping the same pelican prompt makes this useful. I'd love the token spend beside each image too; visual quality gets expensive quickly.

What about centaurs wearing pants?

Very nice, it knew not to add a mouth

oh that's cool lol

For context the next closest on common sense was Opus 5 bsky.app/profile/snep...
