Has there been any evidence of a well known provider rerouting to lower quality models?

Last I saw, engineers working at OpenAI denied this on HN.

I saw that someone set up a tracker that aims to record the performance of the models, and so far it has not shown any statistically significant deviation in performance for Codex, and not yet enough data for Claude: https://marginlab.ai/trackers/codex/

The firm [Anthropic] would deliberately degrade the model’s performance in ways that were invisible to the user.
