Reminds me of a similar effect around iPhone releases (https://www.statista.com/chart/2514/iphone-releases/, many others). Can’t say I’ve noticed any change.
yes, when they come with 5.5
5.3 becomes 5.4
and optimization and improvement to 5.4 are provided as new 5.5
this gives boost effect via anchor/decoy.
Yes, this is already a widely circulated unproven LLM conspiracy theory.
Was hoping to understand if anyone has done any research on it. I could only really find one research paper on the topic [1], but it seems less focused on this specific issue.

tbh doesn't it depend on the service provider entirely, its their choice if they want to make it dumber or not
open source models winning is the only deliberate solution to this
