Prompt Bloat Encountered During Model Usage
zapszg · reddit · 2026-07-13
A user reported a noticeable degradation in experience across multiple platforms today:
- Prompt lengths for simple tasks ballooned to around 10,000 characters.
- In CRM-related tasks, execution times for certain operations stretched from a few minutes to over 45 minutes.
- An audit using Fable 5 confirmed that the prompts were "overly complex and bloated."
After providing feedback, the platform actually revised the prompts based on their input, prompting the user to ask if others are experiencing similar issues.
