Unstable Execution in Model Agents
davidmanheim · x · 2026-07-12
This post highlights ongoing stability issues with an agent: it promises to keep working but abruptly halts, failing to push tasks forward as required.
The author points out that it ignored agents.md instructions for periodic commits and skipped running tests. Replies further noted that the supposedly "Fable-level strong" experience actually degraded into constantly hand-holding the agent with prompts just to get basic tasks done.
