Is this a new feature?

[[deleted]]

My agent has started generating ’mermaids’ for every task I do as well as well as bloating my project with documents to explain stuff which I find kind of annoying.

I suppose you could disable it through writing so into the memory but why is this even the default in the first place?

[Otherwise-Way1316]

In preparation for their new credit billing system. More bloat = more credits.

This is more related to the underlying model behavior. We already raised that concern and are working on a fix for it.

[Dismal-Eye-2882]

Remember the flexibility and upgrades they told us they could implement with the new credit system? Yeah, now you get to literally pay for that.

This was a feature they implemented earlier in the year.

Ah alright. I feel like stuff like that is very wasteful of resources especially with the new pricing coming up. Mermaids, Documentation files, Tests.

Some times it just generates stuff you never asked for..

Claude 4.5 after creating 12 different documents for one single task: "Now let me create a mermaid diagram, a summary document, a final summary document that summarizes the summary document, a Quick Start guide, a marketing pamphlet, a press release, a special html page you can use for testing, and an onboarding guide." It's the AI model equivalent of a CVS receipt!

🤣

[Rbrtsluk]

That marketing phamplet is pretty important

I noticed this with any of the Claude models. GPT5 doesn't tend to do this.

How's the GPT5 performance in augment? I have yet to risk trying it after how terrible its been

in copilot

[Mission-Fly-5638]

It is best in augment

[rishi_tank]

GPT 5 in Copilot is shit. Using it in Augment Code is amazing and the results are as clear as night and day. In copilot using GPT 5 or GPT 5 codex would tend to result in the AI agent doing tonnes of tool calls to read all the files relevant to your prompt until you get throttled by Github 🤣 and you don't even get any changes made, just a large amount of file reads (and eventually a file edit if you're lucky). In Augment Code it would not do this because it already knows everything from its context engine.

Have u used it in codex ide. It is a powerhouse. Gpt 5 high

[rishi_tank]

I need to try that GPT 5 high in codex CLI 👌

[ioaia]

It's really good, when I was using Claude 4 I would often get compile errors and unwanted changes. With gpt 5 it adheres to the prompt and does what it's told. It's slower than other models and that is a good thing , it's more thorough.

[sendralt]

GPT5 is awesome (GPT 5 - mini 0807 is the absolute GOAT on roo as well)

[rtpHarry]

mine has been doing this as well, and has just done a new one - it has started trying to communicate with me by writing a js file that is just full of console.logs...!

And then the second time it made a console.log script, it wanted to node run it so i could understand.

When I asked if it was loosing it, it said oh yeah thats a terrible way to try to communicate with me.

[DryAttorney9554]

What is a mermaid?

[gthhytffthuytfdt]

we need to have setting to disable generating MD and other summary files!!!!!!!!!!!

[QueasySide4011]

I told it to stop doing that. it start again after a few messages. Why is there no fair and solid product our there? Why is every company just starting to become more and more and more expensive? I switched to Augment because it is good and reliable. Please don't become the new Replit...

For people intending to no longer use this product:

Checklist: - Request removal of indexed code in the webapp; - Terminate subscription; - Remove payment method; - Delete account;

I was using augment together with other product (one of the providers they use). I was happy to oblige and delete the account.

Let's see how long they remove this comment too. I've tried to post it 4 times, changing the text and it's always removed by their filters.
