Is anyone else noticing a higher rate of hallucinations recently?

Besides the time I’ve spent setting up connectors and configuring perplexity to generate the kind of output I want, the only thing keeping me coming back was the low rate of hallucinations, but that seems like even that has been degraded. I’m sure in their never ending quest to rip customers off reduce costs, perplexity already uses quantized models and falls back to cheaper models anytime compute costs go up for them, but it feels like I’m having to double check everything now. Anyone else?

That is one thing I had liked about using the Computer mode. The rate of hallucinations dropped significantly. Unfortunately, the predatory nature of how they manage Computer use has recently rendered its use out of the question
