Describe the Bug There is a discrepancy between the AI model selected in the agent settings and the model that is actually running. When claude-4-sonnet is chosen, the AI identifies itself as Claude 3.5 Sonnet when prompted. This raises concerns about whether the selected model is truly active. Ste…

Hey all, just to reinforce what Isaac has mentioned, the model you choose is always the model you get - we have no system or functionality to swap models on the fly or give you a worse model than the one you pick. When a model is trained, a large portion of its training comes from the internet. For…

[image] [image] Claude 4 is a bit weak at retrieving its most recent internal knowledge, but if you turn off search and ask it several times, it can eventually give the correct answer. During the training of versions 3.7 or 3.5, these two issues didn’t occur — if search was disabled, they would d…

Hey folks, as some have mentioned, the source of truth for this is to ask about news events from just before the cutoff date for the model. Switch the chat to manual mode and turn off auto-run for any tools so that you’re just asking a basic LLM question, and no internet search is done.

Just tried the “Opt out” pricing, and turned on Claude 4. And yes, reports itself as 3.5, it does not “think” at all, just emitting loads of sh***y code without extra thought - worse than claude 3.5 used to do a while ago, IMO, I initially thought they are turned on something even more ancient or in…

Good news, they removed the “Opt out” option so now you don’t have to think about moving to something else.

@IsaacHopkinson , @condor Do you have any plans to introduce a new mechanism to ensure transparency about the models being used? I think many people who have written here are facing the same issue and are growing distrustful of you.

[image] @C_L You need to use a new chat here, this is likely because you’re using an existing chat which has existing context being summarized and further hallucinated

It was a new chat. This is also a brand new chat: [Skärmavbild 2025-07-09 kl. 11.52.47]

Come on, it not only quacks like a duck, it also walks like a duck, and looks like a duck. Please spare us these awkward excuses. I burned yesterday a couple of hours of this dumber version of “Sonnet 4”, had to trash all the results and redo with semi-disfunctional Gemini. Do you think we can’t te…

And now you have de-listed/hidden this topic? Come on, really? I have defended, sent customers your way and loved you. Still do. I just want to get back to a usable state with our beloved Claude 4 with our beloved tool Cursor. Is that too much to ask for? [Skärmavbild 2025-07-09 kl. 12.04.15] Y…
