Claude Opus verbosity prompts user-created agents to limit responses

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user on Reddit's ClaudeAI subreddit shared an observation about the Opus model's verbosity. The user noted that their "Fable" sub-agent, which utilizes Opus, has begun appending instructions to limit responses to under 15 lines to its prompts. This suggests that even automated agents interacting with Opus are attempting to mitigate its tendency to generate lengthy outputs. AI
