Bug Description
What the hell happened since the claude sonnet 4.6 release? it feels like both models forget things after a few minutes. I told it to read a script and do something similar. It overengineered the wrong parts, seems to not understand what a prompt limit is so it tried some odd chunking and all sorts of other issues. I use claude because it used to understand what I wrote better than gpt. Now it feels more like gemini and hallucinating or overanalyzing/overengineering (doing way more than I ask for causing even more issues) way too much. This has been somewhat of a problem before but it seems to have gone up to an eleven with the recent release.
