AI developer Elvis shared recent observations on the behavior of the Claude 3.5 Opus model in a thread. He believes Opus is trained to be more agentic than any previous model, meaning traditional interaction and contextualization methods may no longer work as effectively.
He recommends adapting to Opus's exploratory nature by providing less rigid guidance, complimenting it with unique preferences, artifacts, and references to achieve better outputs. He is also considering sharing the relevant HTML artifact for the community to use.
