Anthropic's Claude AI conversation compaction losing recent turns

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Users of Anthropic's Claude AI are reporting a significant change in how long conversations are handled following a merge with Cowork. Previously, long conversations would be compacted, but recent turns would remain accessible. Now, users observe that conversations are being reduced to only a summary, with no recent conversational history preserved. This behavior contradicts documented functionality, and users are experiencing a loss of conversational texture, including specific wording, dates, and established context, requiring them to re-explain information frequently.
