Is there any credible primary source for this exploit being real?

If you upgrade your 8 year old phone the many incremental upgrades will be very noticeable. From my personal experience the LLM space is also moving at a faster pace than the phone industry at the moment, but at least from a financial perspective I would expect it to slow down sooner rather than later.

What kind of data are you interpreting? Do you mean document extraction from different languages? I have only used GPT5.5 for agentic coding, which did get significantly better from my experience, although that does align with your conjecture of their focus being on improving this. I haven't noticed a regression when it comes to interacting with it in different languages though (specifically German and Russian). I have done data extraction from documents in different languages, but only with locally hosted LLMs (mainly Qwen3.5-397b) as I cannot legally use cloud-based solutions. My local solution was more than sufficient, so I would be surprised if a frontier model would fail at that.

Can you elaborate what kind of system you built? I'm curious what specific prompts are getting worse responses with the newer models.
