A user on Reddit's Anthropic community has observed that Sonnet 5 exhibits stricter guardrails compared to its predecessor, Claude Sonnet 4.6. The user notes that Sonnet 5 incorrectly flags benign inputs as jailbreak attempts or manipulation tactics, leading to sterile outputs and reduced flexibility. In contrast, Sonnet 4.6 handles instructions and user preferences more effectively, allowing for greater utility without compromising safety. The user hopes that collective user feedback might influence Anthropic to improve Sonnet 5's flexibility while maintaining its safety features. AI
