Bro, what did OPENAI do to GPT-6 Astra Pro? It’s giving me almost useless responses now, and the weirdest part is that it finishes the same tasks in just 5–6 minutes, tasks that used to take 40 minutes to over an hour when GPT-6 Pro was first released and is also ignoring imp instructions in the prompts. This isn't the same GPT-6 Pro I used on day one. Genuinely didn't expect this from OpenAI. Feels like they're just out of compute and quietly cutting corners.
