I made this switch months ago, ChatGPT 5.4 being a smarter model, but I’ve had subjective feelings of degradation even on 5.4 lately. There’s a lot of growth in usage right now so not sure what kind of optimizations their doing at both companies


Agreed. Watching the intermediate "Thinking about X ... Now I'll do Y" text on GPT 5.4 lately has been like watching a hypothetical smart drug wear off.

All of the major models have been getting worse lately, not just Opus.


Makes me wonder if the output is starting to get back into the training input and we're seeing the first signs of model collapse.


Business model collapse, maybe.

Can't wait, I need to buy some RAM for my local model server.
