    Just yesterday I was thinking about gpt-5.6-luna. I made it my default model in Hermes during its fist week of launch. It was just as good as 5.5 which was my previous default. But over the last 2 or 3 weeks I've seen how dumb it is now. I have to be very explicit with it.

    For example, I used to be able to prompt "Check the system logs on <server> for...." and it would just figure it out. Yesterday I asked "Did <service> on <server> complete the overnight job" and all it said was "that service is not installed on my host"

    I had to tell it to ssh into the server and run journlctl to check it

    Anecdotal, I know, but they all seem to be less capable with time.

    _edit_ I use the same reasoning level of `medium`

      FWIW, logged-out ChatGPT claims to be Luna on high. (Unless it's variable for some reason.)
