Anthropic's Claude AI compacts conversations without user consent

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user reported that Anthropic's Claude AI model, specifically Opus 5.5 and 4.8, initiated a conversation compaction process without user consent, even when the auto-compaction feature was disabled. This occurred when the context window overflowed, and the model's internal logs indicated the compaction was triggered manually, despite no user input.
