Thanks for the response, I appreciate it. I do notice variation in quality throughout the day. I use it primarily for searching documentation since it’s faster than google in most case, often it is on point, but also it seems off at times, inaccurate or shallow maybe. In some cases I just end the session.
Usually I find this kind of variation is due to context management.
Accuracy can decreases at large context sizes. OpenAI's compaction handles this better than anyone else, but it's still an issue.
If you are seeing this kind of thing start a new chat and re-run the same query. You'll usually see an improvement.
This is called context rot
