Same here. It seems to me Sonnet 3.7 causes it.
Just today, I asked Sonnet 3.7 to use the app's accent color, which can be found in the @global.css, to apply it to some element.
It went on a massive tangent, scanning all sorts of documents, etc.
I then asked Sonnet 3.5 for the same thing, and it simply took the accent color and applied it. No tangent, no grep, ...
- zsoltkacsandi 2y agoSonnet 3.7 is terrible, it was a huge mistake from Antrophic to release it and make 3.6 unavailable. It does things I didn’t ask, while deleting random things I just asked to add in the previous prompt, it’s a mess. However it does one thing very well: it can make me angry very quickly, like a real human.
- seunosewa 2y agoIt seems to perform worse in Cursor, so maybe that's where the problem is.
- zsoltkacsandi 2y agoYeah, I am just considering cancelling my subscription and go back to ChatGPT.
- actualwitch 2y agowdym unavailable? it's still on api under `claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022`.
- mort96 2y agoWhat do the numbers '3-5' in that name refer to if it's version 3.6?
- timabdulla 2y agoThere was never a Sonnet 3.6. They released what is commonly known as 3.6 as "Sonnet 3.5 (New)". Then, because so many folks ended up referring to it as 3.6, they decided to call this new model 3.7, as the mental territory for 3.6 was already occupied by 3.5 (New). Not confusing in the slightest!
- zsoltkacsandi 2y agoUnder unavailable I meant unavailable. I was talking about 3.6 not 3.5.
- timabdulla 2y agoThere is no 3.6. There is 3.5 and 3.5 (New), both of which remain available.
- zsoltkacsandi 2y agoAh, you are right, I found it (it was under the more menu on the UI).
- timabdulla 2y agoMy feeling (totally unproven) is that in the drive to make Sonnet 3.7 more "agentic", they've lost some of its ability to actually just stick to what you asked it to do. It seems that it "wants" (I know, it's not sentient!) to be more in the driver's seat now. Definitely can be very annoying if you do just want it to execute on a set of instructions.
- FlyingAvatar 2y agoYes, the Agent mode is terrible. Have you tried using the Ask mode instead?
- zsoltkacsandi 2y agoI don't know but if it wants to be in the driver seat, maybe it can pay the subscription fee for itself, because it is barely usable for anything I paid for before. To me it's not a good deal that I pay for something that makes up the things it wants, and completely disregards what I asked. It's like the recipe for the worst SaaS you ever used.
- 4b11b4 2y agoThis can be mostly mitigated with the right system prompt although I noticed occasionally the prompt will be ignored (~1/20).
- FlyingAvatar 2y agoThe Sonnet 3.7 'Agent' implementation in Cursor is terrible. It takes 10x longer to produce a worse response. I don't understand if this is a cost saving measure to reduce token count, but it is really bad. Thankfully, switching to Sonnet 3.7 in 'Ask' mode has been essentially fine and is comparable to how Sonnet 3.5 performed for me.
- stuaxo 2y agoDifferent models behave differently- it's possible that for 3.7 to work it needs different system prompts.
