Yes. The latest product releases from them all, have been chain of thought tweaks to existing models, rather than a new model entirely. Several models are perceivably the same or worse than previous models (sonnet 3.5 is sometimes worse than Opus 3.0 and Opus 3.5 is nowhere in sight.)

GPT4o is sometimes worse than base GPT4 when it was available.

The newest and largest models so far are either too expensive to run, and/or not much better than the previous best models, and so this is why they have not been released yet despite rumours that these newest models were being trained.

I would love announcements/data to the contrary.
