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.

It's a bigger model, of course it's slower.

fwiw I found Astra to be faster than Sol w/ both on medium reasoning for simple agentic coding

difficult to compare though because for more open ended, complex tasks Sol might miss something that Astra notices and then Sol might yield a cheaper but worse outcome
