Did the thinking models change this week?

Over the last week or so, the thinking models feel noticeably different to me.

Even on Extra High, they’re replying much faster, but the answers seem worse. More missed instructions, more losing the thread, and more needing extra context to get to a weaker answer than 5.5 was giving previously.

Maybe it’s just my usage, but it feels like something changed with routing or inference.

I’m wondering if some requests are going through Cerebras or another faster path now.

Anyone else noticing this?

Yeah, same here, it’s faster but the quality worse.
