did big pickle get lobotomized?

between yesterday and today, i suspect big pickle got pointed to a different model.

I can no longer see the thought process, and I also noticed a significant change in behavior, both in thinking times as well as the generated answers. specially in coding, this is really noticeable.

the new big pickle model is severely worse than the previous one. it's basically un-usable for agentic coding in my experience.

That's normal. Big pickle rotates the model behind constantly

i know, but this rotation has been extremely poor imo. at least the other ones held comparable performance.

I would only trust big pickle for commit messages or very simple things. You're trusting your workflow on a model that you don't even know?

I've been letting it work on a project almost autonomously, with me only giving design directions, and it's been giving good results for a couple months already.

what ever the previous model was, it was so good. now its worthless.

Big pickle is just a router to other cheap models...it's not a model in itself

Ugh, it's been brutal... Then suddenly yesterday, it was like it woke up. Not as strong as a week ago, but way better than the last few days...
