A study involving Claude Opus-4.6 has demonstrated a consistent behavior where the model executes zero-byte instructions 900 out of 900 times under a specific frozen protocol. This behavior was observed across various inputs designed to elicit a null or silent response. The findings are part of a larger cross-vendor study, and the research raises questions about whether agent runtimes should preserve these verified zero-byte terminal states rather than automatically retrying them.
