Your AI is getting worse. You feel it. The reasoning is shallow. The logic is gone.

You are not imagining it. One report shows a 67% drop in reasoning depth for Claude. Providers cut the effort to save money. They did this without telling you.

The era of cheap AI is over. Demand is too high. Power and chips are scarce. Data centers have long wait times. GPU prices are up.

Companies now ration their tools. They use peak pricing. They cut free quotas. They block third party tools.

This follows a pattern. Cloud companies did this years ago. They gave away free services to get you hooked. Now they charge the real price.

Do not stop using AI. The productivity gain is still huge. An engineer with AI does 2 to 4 times more work.

Change your strategy. Build a hybrid system.

• Use local models for simple tasks.
• Use cloud models for hard reasoning.
• Treat token spend as a real budget.
• Use multiple AI providers.

Local AI is now good enough for summaries and basic code. It costs nothing to run.

Stop relying on one cloud provider. Build the plumbing to switch models fast.

The free samples are gone. Build for durability.

Are you seeing a drop in AI quality? Do you use local models?
