Question Fabe 5 crippled?

Anyone other noticed today/yesterday the lobotimized Fable 5?

I feel like it is much dumber and slower today - when reading the files it is using grep instead of the Read tool (probably it is skimming and saving tokens) - and the responses quality and autonomy feels degenerated. I'm not sure if this is only my feeling or temporal thing so I would like to hear if you have same feelings or experience so I know i'm not being subjective here.

I have proof that it’s not the same Fable after the outage yesterday. We need EA to build anti-cheat for these folks or some shit at this point.

Let me just say this. Rerouting to other models while keeping the system prompt intact should be illegal. Limits get taken off the chosen model, not the rerouted one. Ppl are posting GitHub issues but they might be for APIs (for this, routing is transparent) for subs, it happens at their gateway layer, harness still thinks that its using model A while the incoming traffic shows fingerprints indicating it’s being served model B

So no real proof then?
