Sounds like a good opportunity to pause spending on nerfed 4.6 and wait for the new model to be released and then max out over 2 weeks before it gets nerfed again.

  • the performance degradation I've seen isn't quality/completion but duration, I get good results but much less quickly than I did before 4.6. Still, it's just anecdata, but a lot of folks seem to feel the same.

    • Been reading posts like these for 3 years now. There’s multiple sites with #s. I’m willing to buy “I’m paying rent on someone’s agent harness and god knows what’s in the system prompt rn”, but in the face of numbers, gotta discount the anecdotal.

  • This just looks like random noise to me? Is it also random on short timespans, like running it 10x in a row?

  • I don't believe that trackers like this are trustworthy. There's an enormous financial motive to cheat and these companies have a track record of unethical conduct.

    If I was VP of Unethical Business Strategy at OpenAI or Anthropic, the first thing I'd do is put in place an automated system which flags accounts, prompts, IPs, and usage patterns associated with these benchmarks and direct their usage to a dedicated compute pool which wouldn't be affected by these changes.
