I had a typical $20 Gemini plan that I just downgraded to their $5 plan (to keep access to some of the models). It had been so long since I let Gemini work on (or review) any code / design / html (anything) that I couldn't justify bothering to keep wasting money on it. It fell behind badly over the past year. Astra might as well be an alien super intelligence at code compared to Gemini. I enjoy talking to Gemini, it is very good at conversation, I get solid answers to everyday questions. I intend to keep the $5 plan indefinitely for basic use. I don't expect they'll ever resurface as a competitor in coding with Astra & Fable et al.
