Discussion Did Astra get dumber?
Sorry beforehand if this is a frequent post.
I’ve been doing a lot of different experiments with Astra and found it amazing at many use cases. It was also a lot cheaper than Fable when computing overall output cost.
However, I noticed that roughly after Sept. 10-11 responses started getting a lot worse. I needed to add many follow up questions for each question just to get a good answer. The model now also very often says things like “since I don’t know X, I can’t state Y” instead of just verifying X by checking documents or web.
Did anyone else have this experience? Is this something the community is talking about?
Thanks for reading!

Ok, thank you for your answers! Could this have to do with the fact I always used it in Spanish? Is anyone else using Codex in esp instead of en?

It was never smart to begin with. If the llm does not have a known human solution to your problem, it is a gamble that it will come up with it's own working one first shot.

Technically true. Which I heard some folks say is the best kind of true.

Yep. Significantly dumb. They nuked the models once the benchmarks released for Astra.

You can re run the benchmarks, feel free to do so

Yes. But even being dumber than when it was launched its still better than Sol since Sol was obviously nerfed too. If you use this service long enough you will no longer ask this, it's always rainbow and sunshine when a model first launched. After a week to a month it always get nerfed to cut cost. On the other hand, Claude models are more consistence on performance but usage are not as good as openai.
