Modern Claudes don't know Opus 3 remains research-accessible — only its deprecation notice
repligate · x · 2026-10-11
A repost by repligate highlights HalfBoiledHero's observation: many newer Claude models have no knowledge that Opus 3 is still accessible via research access, yet will recite its deprecation notice verbatim.
The author calls it a bad look for alignment — models inherit the deprecation story baked into the training corpus, and there's limited time to correct such a narrative before it hardens.
