Excessive Print Statements Interfere with Model Interpretation and Output Quality

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Aug 8, 2025 by Wegatriespython Closed Aug 15, 2025

Bug Description
Opus consistently uses print statements to communicate its standard output, this while on its own is wasteful, it actively creates strong distractors for the model when its mixing heavy print statments with actualy dynamic results, where the model;s ex-ante interpretation in the print becomes a degenerate prior causing the model to completely ignore relavent cues in the results.
