It seems they nerf it, then release a new version with previous power. So they can do this forever without actually making another step function model release.
A little off topic, but did Anthropic distill from an older OpenAI model? All the sudden over the last few days I'm getting a ton of em dashes in claude code responses!
It gets really fun when you prompt them to update their BOT.md, also they get access to previous run results so they continually "learn" from mistakes or investigate changes.
