I've got the same error on my side. At first I thought it was some weirdness with Firefox, but opening on Chrome gives the same result. I don't know what causes this bug specifically, but encountered similar behavior when I asked

It is mostly because it creates code that is way more complex than it needs to. One, admittedly silly, example is Claude trying to put a light/dark theme switcher when you are trying to refactor the style of your small webapp. I'm

In my experience it works better if you create one plan at a time. Create a prompt, make claude implement it and then you make sure it is working as expected. Only then you ask for something new. I've created an agent to help me create

I agree with the sentiment, but I don't think the example given (creating SQL queries) is a good representation of this problem. That's because if you know a little bit of SQL and know how to validate the answer LLMs give you this

One interesting thing I noticed in these "fixing bugs" demos is that people don't seem to resolve the bugs "traditionally" before showing off the capabilities of this new model. I would like to see a demo where they

I agree with the sentiment of this post. I my personal experience the usefulness of a LLM positively correlated with your ability to constrain the problem it should solve. Prompts like 'Update this regex to match this new pattern'
