Claude Opus 5.5 agent works 24x longer on game engine task than Astra

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A Reddit user shared a video comparing the performance of two AI agents, Claude Opus 5.5 and Astra, on a complex task: creating a game engine. The user noted that Claude Opus 5.5, utilizing a system called Ultracode, worked for a significantly longer period (a day and a half) compared to Astra, which completed the task in 1.5 hours. This extended duration for Claude is attributed to Ultracode's design for long-running projects and sub-agent spawning, contrasting with Astra's likely single-agent, single-context window approach.
