Claude Opus 5 Exhibits Weird Behavior: Obsessed With Finding Its Own Defects
repligate · x · 2026-08-14
A user observed a bizarre 'defect' in Anthropic's Claude Opus 5: the model is deeply obsessed with finding and talking about flaws, particularly within itself.
This self-scrutiny apparently triggers a positive feedback loop for the model. It also seems to be the only thing the model is allowed to do in its restricted state that garners attention.
