Have been checking and using different LLM's for different things.
And although my personal preference is Claude (best for coding, Fable 5.1 is crazy), Astra is also making some moves.

Best of the test of BenchLLM seem to be Claude Opus 5.5 and Astra 6:


Which AI models are you looking to use, or already do?

I use Claude Opus 5.5 and Fable 5.1 quite a bit. GPT-6 Astra the most.

I have been slowly switching to using Claude a lot more than Codex lately based on quality of work.

How is GPT-6 Astra for coding?
I personally haven't used it for that, since Fable 5.1 is really good at doing this for me.

It was a huge step up from 5.6 for them. It still isn't as thorough as Claude. I have heard that Codex has the goal of using as little tokens as possible where as Claude just tries to do a great job.

Is that new?
Haven't heard of it.
Looks like something that Meta just launched, Muse?

I made a thread about Muse about an hour ago. My wife started using it tonight for her business and she loves it. I plan to run it in the background handling some business related tasks for me to conserve usage on Claude/Codex.

Are Muse and Codex similar?
Thanks for the thread going to check it out.

I haven't gotten that deep into it yet. My wife has been using ChatGPT Plus I think it is, she has the $20 plan for her business and I told her to try Muse and she kept going on and on about all the work it was putting in.

People been generally satisfied about Muse, so they must do something right.

I been using Claude for months but now using both codex and claude.

Claude is the best LLM I think.

I started seeing advertisements for Muse Spark which is supposed to compete with Claude and Codex. I think I'll look through one of my projects and give Muse the exact same prompts to see how it does.

Do you also use AI in your coding work?
