Opus 5.5 may be occasionally better than other models on code (I find this debatable though, because Astra is very good and will often do better imo), but I would wager there's way more money to be made on things like image and multimodal tasks or at least nearly as much, and frankly even Gemini 3.8 flash can spank Anthropics best models on visual tasks and be absurdly cheaper; that also ignores the increasing aggressive classifiers Dario seems to like which block a lot of stuff and I've seen drive a number of zai subscriptions because blue teaming is increasingly very important.

Astra is not the OpenAI analogue to Opus 5.5. Sol 6.1 is.
