   Could there be a benefit to releasing a new model, slowly dumbing it down over a couple months, then releasing a new model that’s marginally if at all better than the original to create a perceived improvement when in reality there isn’t really one?

   For an industry that’s stagnant in progress yet relies on new frequent releases to survive (non-progress being an existential risk), this could make sense.

   I have no idea if that’s what’s happened, I completely pulled it out of my butt. And I have no idea is the actual frontier is stagnating.

      You can serve Fable from a cloud vendor (like AWS, Azure). They have frozen versions of the models, so likely this should not be an issue?

      I would do a test to verify my suspicions.

         In my experience, the API versions are as good as ever; it's the subscriptions that are severely degraded.
