Transcript

Did Astra just get nerfed? I mean, look at the quality of Astra during launch versus compared to now. Astra has way too much for man guys.

Original caption

Astra might have just gotten nerfed 😭 This side-by-side is kind of insane. Same prompt, but the launch version has way more detail, texture, and structure. The current version genuinely looks like someone drew a rougher version of the original. Obviously one comparison doesn’t prove OpenAI intentionally nerfed it, but if this is reproducible across more prompts, that’s a pretty noticeable quality drop.
