Anecdotally, ChatGPT still struggles with its own API. It keeps juggling between different versions of its API and hallucinates API parameters, even when I force-feed official documents into the context (to be fair, the documentation is straight awful). Sometimes it totally refuses to change its basic assumptions, so I have to blow up the context just to make it use the up-to-date API correctly.
LLMs are stupid - nothing magic, nothing great. They’re just tools. The problem with the recent LLM craze is that people make too many obviously partially true statements.
That's because GPT-4o's training cut-off is Sep 30, 2023 (see https://platform.openai.com/docs/models/gpt-4o) and the OpenAI API has changed a LOT since then.
Claude 4 has a training cut-off of March 2025, I tried something today about its own API and it gave me useful code.
