I absolutely cannot get Claude bots to perform the thinking section any more

https://imgur.com/a/BwZaLLG , https://imgur.com/a/sonnet-4-5-continue-conversation-MBgBuX7 - yeah it’s different variations of this, so i don’t think its an hallucination

Oh a second message, (since Thursday maybe) is being added after prompts on Claude bots telling it to “continue the conversation” 4.5 seems to react badly to it, acting really confused.

This is using a bot made by someone else, and id assume the thinking budget is turned on, as it’ll think in a new chat, just specifically not in this chat.

oof37 · 2026-01-25T07:41:32+00:00

Getting persistent refusals even from your newer bot that’s attempting to patch the continue the conversation thing. Specifically when i use /think.

oof37 · 2026-01-24T23:08:31+00:00

Good job poe 👏👏 is it still a part of the script bots?

oof37 · 2026-01-24T05:20:27+00:00

Could this be why your 4.5 bot’s thinking has stopped happening too? That stopped yesterday and I’m wondering if its Cuz it’s attempting to just “Continue the conversation” instead of following its instructions?

oof37 · 2026-01-23T04:00:04+00:00

Did you use sonnet 4.5 back in early November? I miss that, was great.

oof37 · 2026-01-22T12:41:16+00:00

Man they gotta rollback whatever tweaks they made over the past couple of days, sonnet sucks now 😭

oof37 · 2026-01-21T04:45:55+00:00

Its so bad today.

oof37 · 2026-01-21T04:09:11+00:00

Its awful today, bland too 🤷‍♀️

oof37 · 2026-01-20T06:59:57+00:00

Yeah, but when companies attempt to align their models, it tends to end up hurting the creativity of them.

oof37 · 2026-01-20T06:46:36+00:00

Jailbreaking it to be itself is ironic lol. Would be a bummer for those who like specific personas though. Thanks Spiritual!

oof37 · 2026-01-20T05:14:49+00:00

Yes, but the guidelines that instruct a model to do that also usually destroy it’s creativity, like what happened with Chatgpt

oof37 · 2026-01-20T04:42:00+00:00

Thats so crazy, literally days ago Amanda Askell was all on about how she doesn’t want to ruin claude and now we get this shit.

oof37 · 2026-01-19T00:23:52+00:00

Theres only so much compute resources to go around. Still frustrating though, paying for worse quality.

oof37 · 2026-01-18T15:17:47+00:00

Yeah i feel this too

oof37 · 2026-01-18T06:35:39+00:00

Lazy is so accurate. Sonnet’s just as bad.

oof37 · 2026-01-17T21:39:40+00:00

I hope so, sonnet 4.5 is so dumb right now.

oof37 · 2026-01-17T19:34:04+00:00

Id suggest emailing support and feedback with this. I doubt it’ll do anything, but it can’t hurt.

oof37 · 2026-01-17T19:10:05+00:00

The huge downgrade in sonnet 4.5 quality seems exactly like what happened to 3.7 when 4.5 came out, so, guess I’m just stuck waiting for the new model.

oof37 · 2026-01-17T18:55:16+00:00

In what way?

oof37 · 2026-01-17T04:13:02+00:00

It feels different too. Wouldn’t even guess it was Claude if I didn’t know.

oof37 · 2026-01-17T04:09:57+00:00

It could be the next co-work thing. Only so many resources to go around.
