A Plus subscriber reports that over the past 4-8 weeks the model he relies on has visibly degraded: heavy vamping, hallucinations, flip-flopping opinions, and sycophantic behavior — at times feeling like a regression to the 3.5 era.
His use case is content research and writing, mostly using Sol 5.6 High in Work mode. The post fuels ongoing discussion about model quality regressions.
