I don’t think you’re crazy, something is off in their models. As an example I’ve been using an MCP tool to provide table schemas to Claude for months. There was a point where it stopped recognizing the tool unless mentioned in early August. Maybe that’s related to their degraded quality issue. This morning after pulling the correct schema info Sonnet started hallucinating columns (from Shopify’s API docs) and added t…

I have read so many anecdotes about so many models that "were great" and aren't now. I actually think this is psychological bias. It got a few things right early on, and that's what you remember. As time passes, the errors add up, until the memory doesn't match reality. The "new shiny" feeling goes away, and you perceive it for what it really is: a kind of shitty slot machine > personally am frustrated that there’s n…

This is equivalent to people reminiscing about WoW or EverQuest saying gaming peaked back then…

I think you’re right. I think it’s complete bias with a little bit of “it does more tasks now” so it might behave a bit differently to the same prompt.

I also think you’re right that there’s an incentive to dumb it down so you pull the lever more. Just 2 more $1 spins and maybe you’ll hit jackpot.

Really it’s the enshitification of the SOTA for profits and glory.

Oh, nice! One of my biggest issues with mainstream LLMs/apps was that working on the long text (article, script, documentation, etc.) is limited to copy-pasting dance. Which is especially frustrating in comparison to the AI coding assistants that can work on code directly in the file system, using the internet and MCPs at the same time.

I just tried this new feature to work on a text document in a project, and it's a big difference. Now I really want to have this feature (for text at least) in ChatGPT to be able to work on documents through voice and without looking at the screen.

> Importantly, we never intentionally degrade model quality as a result of demand or other factors, and the issues mentioned above stem from unrelated bugs. Things they could do that would not technically contradict that: - Quantize KV cache - Data aware model quantization where their own evals will show "equivalent perf" but the overall model quality suffers. Simple fact is that it takes longer to deploy physical co…

> Something has to give... Is training compute interchangeable with inference compute or does training vs. inference have significantly different hardware requirements? If training and inference hardware is pooled together, I could imagine a model where training simply fills in any unused compute at any given time (?)

Hardware can be the same but scheduling is a whole different beast.

Also, if you pull too manny resources from training your next model to make inference revenue today, you’ll fall behind in the larger race.

Same here. Even with Opus in Claude Code I'm getting terrible results, sometimes feeling we went back to the GPT 3.5 eon. And it seems they are implementing heavily token-saving measures: the model does not read context anymore unless you force it to, making up method calls as it goes.

The simplest thing I frequently ask of regular Claude (not Code) in the desktop app: "Use your web search tool to find me the go-to component for doing xyz in $language $framework. Always link the GitHub repo in your response." Previously Sonnet 4 would return a good answer to this at least 80% of the time. Now even Opus 4.1 with extended thinking frequently ignores my ask for it to use the search tool, which allows…

How is this better/faster than typing "xyz language framework site://github.com" into Kagi

IDK about you but I find it faster to type a few keywords and click the first result than to wait for "extended thinking" to warm up a cup of hot water only to ignore "your ask" (it's a "request," not an "ask," unless you're talking to a Product Manager with corporate brain damage) to search and then outputs bullshit.

I can only assume after you waste $0.10 asking Claude and reading the bullshit, you use normal search.

Truly revolutionary rechnology

Have you considered perhaps that you are, indeed, out of your mind? Or more precisely, that you could be rationalizing what is essentially a random process? Based on the discussions here it seems that every model is either about to be great or was great in the past but now is not. Sucks for those of us who are stuck in the now , though.

Anthropic literally stated yesterday that they suffered degraded model performance over the last month due to bugs: https://status.anthropic.com/incidents/72f99lh1cj2c Suggesting people are "out of their mind" is not really appropriate on this forum, especially so in this circumstance.

> Suggesting people are "out of their mind" is not really appropriate on this forum, especially so in this circumstance.

They were wrong, but not inappropriate. They re-used the "out of their mind" phrase from the parent comment to cheekily refer to the possibility of a cognitive bias.

Instead of building random features, they have to fix their quality first. I'm on 100$ Max plan, I would even buy 2x 200$ plan if Opus would stop randomly being dumb. Especially after 7am ET time.

Opus' ability should be the feature being optimized and stabilized, fewer features are needed.

Claude has been constantly terrible for the last couple of weeks. You must have seen this, but just in case: https://x.com/claudeai/status/1965208247302029728

Except this is a verifiable thing that actually is acknowledged and even tracked by people.
