Is your GPT Astra dumber this week?
Some Codex users are reporting more stalling and unfinished work. This Short reports two dated public experiences—not an established model downgrade, a representative sentiment survey, or evidence of secret routing.
We have felt this too, but this is our experience, not a measured comparison.
Primary sources (UTC dates):
• Sep 15, 2026 — u/Parogarr: “Is it just me or did Astra suddenly get dumber as of a few days ago?”

• Sep 14, 2026 — u/TroubleOwn3156: “Astra stopping all the time”

What changed for you—and which mode are you using? Better, worse, or unchanged: contrary experiences are welcome. Include your task, mode and approximate date so comparisons are useful.
Original illustrated graphics; the animated work-status examples are illustrations, not a recorded product test. Short attributed quotations for news commentary. AI-generated narration using the user-authorized Arnold voice.
