When I’m in agent mode and ask the LLM to do this or that or “I got this error …” or “something is missing in …” or whatever. It spends a fast request just to tell me “what to do” instead of actually doing itself. So I have to reply back with “yeah proceed” or “fix it” so that the LLM can proceed an…

Great, thanks for the update. Your file and rules dont sound too large. Some models require focused instructions similar to the text you mentioned. The words used and phrasing has influence. Note that pleading with the AI does not help it to stay on focus (please,… Don’t waste…) at all. Often AI…

I’ve tried adding rules to prevent this, but it keeps doing it, like if it was on purpose to drive me crazy

I’m starting to think it’s on purpose not to drive us crazy. But to consume more Fast Requests to get us to buy more or to upgrade to a higher plan. It’s the entire business model for Cursor.

What model are you using, as far as I know Claude can fixes it ， gpt4.1 likes to ask around In auto mode, your model may have 4o or 4.1 checked, you can try it with Claude 4.

I can’t tell which LLM is being used. It’s hidden [image]

Then it’s most likely using GPT I’ve used auto before, and when I asked him which big model he was using, he said himself that it was the 4.1 4o model Personally I think it’s still Claude 4 more active, agent works well, you can turn off auto mode and use Claude 4 sonnet alone

Hi, do you ask the model to do something specific? (action) Analyze and fix this bug… or are you asking it what is the bug (open question) What is the bug? similar: (without action to do something more than analyze) Analyze the bug Most newest models are very literal in how they interpre…

[image] TheMikeyRoss: tell Don’t waste those sweet, precious fast requests on auto mode!

@TheMikeyRoss models change, using Auto you get regularly new models as new models get released. Newer models are very literal, ask about an issue will explain it, ask to fix issue will fix. Please try to be more specific. Fix this error (describe what error, where and give info needed to underst…

I sometimes explicitly ask the LLM questions like: Make sure the form fields match the schema or Update [filename1] so that it matches the same pattern used in [filename2] I’ll try to make sure to be more explicit about it (although I want the agent mode to be on stand-by just doing stuff inst…

Following because this has been going on for 1 month for me. Only anthropic models (sometimes gpt-4) don’t seem to do this. Prompt agnostic too: direct requests to write code and not ask for permission might take 2-4 tries before the model does anything… Getting multiple responses in a row about w…
