I'm sorry, but yeah. The official account is a harness regression and some platform bugs.

Where is the evidence they are underhandedly and unethically regressing their models to shed load and reduce costs? This is the conspiracy theory running rampant through the vibe boroughs; that they are bait-and-switching on model capabilities then "nerfing" them to save money and shed load. Where is the evidence?!

I'm not saying it's illegal, per say, so don't come at me with that straw man bull cock. This bro science conspiracy has been circulating for at least 2 years(I don't even know) and enterprises would certainly be pissed off if they were paying premium API prices for advertised and previously tested model capabilities that are suddenly under performing due to "nerfing" shenanigans.

So where is the evidence?!
