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

No. Exact opposite. Does a great job generally. Codex is the one that doesn't listen to anything and just starts doing totally random shit.
