Why do you feel an older cut off degrades the model? Perhaps it improves it as the model has limited training on AI garbage.

That's a possible hypothesis, but qualitatively the model seems to be so much less capable than it was even 4 hours ago.

And I'm talking about GPT 5.2 High (non-codex), which is the best trade-off model for capability vs. speed.

It's like talking to a senior programmer who all of a sudden experienced a traumatic injury. Noticeable.

Interesting. For what it is worth, I use Claude Opus at the moment and I am generally impressed.
