Users report ChatGPT performance degradation, consider alternatives

The issues appear to stem from a merge of Codex and ChatGPT models, leading to reduced context and memory capabilities. One user noted that GPT-6, even on high reasoning settings, performs worse than local models on a standard laptop, suggesting a potential overcrowding of existing model pools due to RAM limitations. This degradation has led users to consider alternatives like Claude. AI

IMPACT Potential user dissatisfaction with current models may drive adoption of competing AI services.
