I've "called" the last 3 out of 4 new model releases. Maybe my account it perma-tagged as one that gets downgraded to re-allocate resources before a release but about 5-7 days before a new model Claude suddenly gets dumber and dumber on executing canned skills that I've used for 6+ months with no issues. The cynic in me thinks they are dumbing down models right before a release so the new model seems much smarter.
