Benchmark gains are measured on a clean slate; your production stack is a decade of accumulated prompt hacks that assumed the old model’s quirks. Upgrades break the hacks, not the capability.
The upgrade trap is real. It's easy to assume a better model automatically leads to better outcomes, but productivity often comes from compounding context and consistent workflows and not from constantly switching tools.
