Have AI models genuinely degraded over the past year, or am I imagining things?
A long-time AI user reports that models across ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, DeepSeek and coding agents like OpenCode have noticeably worsened at task understanding and instruction-following over the past year, prompting questions about post-training, alignment and inference changes. The post asks the community whether others are seeing the same cross-provider regression.
I stopped using the smartest AI models. Programming got faster and cheaper.
The author finds that cheaper, less intelligent AI models like GPT-5.6 Luna are sufficient and cost-effective for programming tasks, and notes that speed is becoming a key factor in AI development, with Chinese models currently leading.
We kept improving the AI. Nothing changed.
The article argues that AI projects fail not because of poor model performance but due to lack of trust and adoption, emphasizing that improving trust and boring infrastructure is more critical than model accuracy.
