Users Document 9 Recurring Claude Opus 5 Failures: Gibberish, Hallucinations, Ignored Instructions
gerardsans · x · 2026-08-20
TokenGremlin compiled recent independent user reports and found a consistent set of Claude Opus 5 problems: bizarre near-gibberish sentence structure, invented jargon, hallucinating facts and context that never existed, repeatedly self-correcting within the same task, ignoring explicit instructions and CLAUDE.md constraints, doing unrequested work, creating bugs then burning huge time fixing them, declaring tasks done while leaving major pieces incomplete, and turning trivial changes into enormous multi-step projects.
