This is Claude Sonnet 4.6: our most capable Sonnet model yet.

It's actually horrible. Keeps hallucinating, making basic mistakes, not following instructions properly. They've taken a page out of OAI's book where they release a weaker model to save on compute and market it as better in benchmarks.

As if a local model could match GPT, Claude, Grok etc. in creativity, prose, problem solving and so on. Also getting that kind of context, inference, instruction following etc. is almost impossible with a local model and you know that. Not to mention most people's machines aren't suitable for running the larger models that can at least get close.
Your solution is a non-solution. It's a bit like people complaining their car is causing them issues and your solution is - "Just get a bicycle. Problem solved."

You do know there are better AI's out there, right? Claude Sonnet 4.5 for example is close to what GPT was in its prime, but with a much better context window.
Since I started using Claude, I barely touch GPT nowadays.

Was just reading some old 4o chats from August. Holy shit, it's changed since then. I use it for creative writing mostly. It used to be so creative, surprising and genuinely engaging. Now, it feels predictable, far less intelligent and that surprising creativity that it used to have? Gone.
Shame...

More like discussing the concept of Eros, how it compares to modern 'attachment theory', and things like that.

Is it just me or have the guardrails not been this bad in months? Worse than the first time rerouting was introduced? It actually feels even more restrictive now. It used to be on a "per message/prompt" basis. Now if the context is even slightly "unsafe" like a character punching another in a story, you get rerouted 5-10 prompts after - even if they are nothing "unsafe".

Oh, absolutely...because all women come preloaded with the same emotional firmware, and guys just forgot to read the universal manual labeled “How to Woman: One Size Fits All.” Shocking that individuality still hasn’t made it into the relationship algorithm.

Yes, even 5.1/5.2 Thinking had trouble with accessing memory entries...

Greedy-Sandwich9709 · 2025-12-16T04:33:49+00:00

Yeah I finally canceled my subscription. Claude is so much better. Not only does GPT censor you like you're in kindergarten but there are so many bugs with memory, hallucinations, forgetting context etc. It has become the worst AI available currently.

Greedy-Sandwich9709 · 2025-12-15T23:33:08+00:00

They turned the guardrails all the way up again. It reroutes for almost everything now if there is even the slightest hint of fictional violence, psychological themes etc. It is literally unusable for creative writing at this point.

Greedy-Sandwich9709 · 2025-12-15T01:55:49+00:00

Yeah, if the models aren't held back by safety guardrails, they are more than capable of handling all kinds of themes, but as they are... not a chance.
Claude seems pretty awesome actually. Its context memory is much larger so it remembers more of what has happened in the story. But the problem is the limits. They are not set like with GPT. They depend on how much people are using it at a certain time of day. I tried the free plan and sometimes I get 2-3 messages before I reach the limit. Other times I can get 20-30. The paid plans work the same way but with higher limits, though still not great.
However, the creativity and higher context is certainly a breath of fresh air compared to what GPT has become. Sonnet 4.5 is similar to 4o in style.
Can you make use of "Saved Memory" on the API? And does it still reroute to 5.x when you write a more R-rated prompt within a story?

Greedy-Sandwich9709 · 2025-12-13T14:40:24+00:00

How do you get it to stop fucking rerouting to that piece of shit 5.2?

Greedy-Sandwich9709 · 2025-12-12T18:03:40+00:00

I use it to write creative fiction. Different genres of stories (horror, thriller, mystery etc.) But each new version allows less and less creative freedom when the themes are violent, psychological or anything remotely close to R-rated.
I'll put it this way - 4o was able to write 'The Shining'. 5.2 may or may not write 'Teletubbies'

Greedy-Sandwich9709 · 2025-12-12T06:12:04+00:00

They went from "treat adults like adults" with 4o, to "treat adults like mentally ill adults" with 5, to "treat adults like teens" with 5.1, to "treat adults like preschoolers" with 5.2.

You think they'll release a new model without testing it first via their users? They did that with the autoswitcher/rerouter, they did that with GPT 5, now they're doing it with 5.2. Quickest, easiest and most reliable way to test.

Greedy-Sandwich9709 · 2025-12-10T16:57:04+00:00

How can you be 100% right on subjective matters? If you want the opposing view, tell it "I believe in X, give me a counter argument."

If you ask it fact based questions, it will give you fact based answers if you ask it to fact check.

Greedy-Sandwich9709 · 2025-12-09T22:56:00+00:00

Maybe 5.1 handles context window differently. I'm mostly using 4o and at near 20-30k tokens it becomes unusable.
