OpenAI’s premier large-scale model, GPT-6 Astra, garnered widespread praise following its initial launch. Nevertheless, recent feedback from users has highlighted a notable drop in its performance, with Chinese-speaking users experiencing the most severe impact. In certain instances, the system has automatically switched some users to lower-tier models, significantly degrading their user experience. Analyses suggest that the decline in intelligence might stem from inadequate computing resources. With a rapid increase in user numbers, servers have become overwhelmed, adversely affecting overall performance. Concurrently, it is plausible that developers have deliberately restricted certain functionalities to manage costs or enhance the user experience. Furthermore, network problems may have led to connectivity issues for users, reinforcing suspicions of strained computing capabilities. In reaction to user grievances, OpenAI has implemented version updates. While some users have observed improvements in the intelligence degradation issue, it remains unresolved.
