Having trouble figuring out which mode to use?

The latest ChatGPT subscription presents you with three basic model options:

  • Astra
  • Sol
  • Luna

Luna is a sipper. Think a well-dressed mid-lifer at an evening cocktail party on the rooftop veranda of a condo on Rittenhouse Square, holding a glass of red wine. They’re not that deep. The conversation is surface-level and guarded. Maybe a bit salesy.

Sol’s having a good time. Think relaxed with good friends or colleagues at their regular Friday spot, working on a few of their favorite cocktails. Maybe there are cards on the table. They’re sharing real stories. Solving real problems.

Astra has a problem. Think the smartest in the room with a bottle of Jack on the table. Napkins covered in diagrams and a laptop with a million tabs open. Slurring their words with no regard for how much this night is gonna cost. But they’re in deep, and they won’t crawl out until either the money runs out or the problem is solved.

Who do you need to help you?
