I’ve noticed the same thing. It moves much faster (which is entirely unnecessary in my case), but performs worse, especially in reasoning. It sometimes makes gross errors (invented words or completely absurd misunderstandings), which I had never seen before (and yet I’ve spent hundreds of hours on it). It quickly loses track of the conversation, and suddenly forgets instructions that were explicitly given as structuring. The most disappointing part of this story is that it is easy to understand that this degradation was done for economic reasons or computational power, but it was done behind the users’ backs. I feel cheated, I am counting on a quick improvement, otherwise I will cancel my subscription and I won’t come back.
