ChatGPT suddenly feels like GPT-3.5: users report slashed context and zero reasoning
Zhlkk · reddit · 2026-10-06
A Reddit user reports that ChatGPT abruptly degraded starting yesterday, feeling like GPT-3.5 despite the "5.6 Sol High" setting: the context window seems slashed and reasoning nearly absent. In a quick test, feeding the model false facts and claiming they were discussed earlier led it to rewrite them without any verification. No official explanation, but the timing suggests possible server-side model routing or rollout changes.
