I love Ultrafast (it's unusable)

    Video summary

    Theo Browne evaluates an ultrafast Astra coding workflow through live interface changes. Faster generation makes frequent steering and voice feedback practical, but he observes that tool calls become a larger share of elapsed time once the model itself responds quickly.

    Theo Browne compares iterations on his Slopolytics interface with an earlier Opus draft. The first fast draft is not automatically better: he repeatedly directs the model, checks the visible result and adjusts the layout. His account highlights the importance of human taste and feedback rather than treating generation speed as a substitute for review.

    Theo Browne weighs the experience against substantial usage costs and account limits. He discusses model selection, reasoning settings and the appeal of future faster variants, while presenting those preferences and expectations as personal experience rather than verified future product commitments.

    Theo Browne finds ultrafast coding compelling for rapid human feedback but difficult to use routinely because costs, tool latency and design quality still matter.
