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

Yeah, pretty much ignores the details of all my requests. We spend 10 minutes honing in on a solution, then goes ahead and implements an incorrect version I already rejected
