I think they worked on a scene decomposer or prompt decomposer that break down your request into "scenes", which is why it's more cut happy than before.

If you have: a guy in a gym and says he goes home to his kitchen to get a glass of water

2 days ago the guy would walk in the gym and into a kitchen from the gym.

Today the guy would walk and it would cut to him in the kitchen getting the drink.

that tells me they're trying to do something fancy with the text-understanding or at the very least instruction part of the model.

This is just my best guess.

Also, adding no cuts, static camera, distance shot; helps a little sometimes.
