Users Report 'Amnesia' in Claude Opus: Forgetting Established Context
papanine · reddit · 2026-07-30
A Reddit user reported experiencing significant 'amnesia' issues with Claude Opus. While acknowledging the model's extreme capability, they noted its tendency to forget established context during multi-turn conversations.
The user cited examples where the model asked for approval on a direction immediately after it was already granted, or forgot that they had spent an hour switching from a sandbox to a live integration environment. When called out on these inconsistencies, the model immediately backpedals and apologizes. The thread sparked a broader discussion on the memory stability of large language models.
