Is OpenAI silently routing GPT‑6 requests to GPT‑4o?

I’ve selected GPT‑6, but the responses clearly match GPT‑4o’s behavior.

Is OpenAI’s model router performing silent fallback under load?

Has anyone else observed inconsistent routing or degraded model quality recently?

If it's clear, why are you asking?

4o is like 40 years old in LLM terms.

Hardly think so, 6 is exceptionally good at 3d modeling and visuals.
