> They're weasel words people use when their proposal doesn't actually work. No. They have concrete definitions that are just inconvenient for your argument. A+ in mental gymnastics though.

Maybe it's just vibes but I've repeatedly felt like gpt-6-astra on its default setting of medium is less rigorous and thoughtful than gpt-5.6-sol on its default setting. What I am certainly not getting is any sense that we are at
