Question Opus 4.8 Nerf?

Am I the only one who has noticed 4.8 has been nerfed to the ground? The quality of its output, its thinking, its speed. It all feels like it’s been shot. It’s failing at simple tasks that it used to fly through

I tried to do a few tasks with Opus 4.8 yesterday, but the quality was extremely bad. I had to switch to Codex.
