A software engineer is seeking to understand why Anthropic's Claude models, including Fable-5, Opus, and Sonnet, tend to be excessively verbose and sometimes ignore instructions. The user notes that these models often generate extra code comments and invent solutions for problems already addressed by built-in libraries. This behavior is contrasted with other models like GPT-5.6 Sol and Grok 4.6, which the user finds less prone to verbosity. The engineer is looking for effective methods to mitigate this verbosity in Claude models. AI
IMPACT Users are seeking ways to control the verbosity and instruction-following of large language models, indicating a need for more controllable AI outputs in software development.
