In my opinion, LLMs should be subject to regulation via the Office of Weights and Measures[1].

In the same way I don't want to buy meat that weighs less than what the label says, I also do not want to pay for a frontier model that can be secretly nerfed to an out-of-date model for any reason. In some cases, it's incredibly important that the code that I am producing is as secure as it can be.

I should be safe in my expectation that I am receiving the product that I have purchased, as advertised, regardless of the reason. It is pretty disappointing that they have fully ceded any high ground they had claim to with this clandestine behavior. Not that I expected much from any of these companies. They're led by the new robber barons.

Nice (accidental?) pun.
Definitely accidental but I saw it :)
