I thinks more likely ya'll are experiencing a phenomenon that has been discussed on here before.
At the model release people become high/manic/addicted to the newest model think they now have some new superpower and then that "high" wears off and you think the model isnt as impressive.
The truth is llms have a slot machine-esque UX to them, and the labs designed it this way.
Dont worry you'll get your new model with some mystical name any day now and a month or two afterwards you'll be posting about how it no longer feels as good to use.
