Bug Description This is Opus 4.7 your flagship model, intended for use for developing Web APIs, Web apps, etc. And yet it cannot reason correctly about the difference between URL normalization and URL deferencing. This will be a fun one to dig into if you have MechInterp tools.

This oversight has led to my current project being wrong, bloated, confusing, and frustrating. I can only imagine how many other people are finding Claude's reasoning to be off in areas where it arguably probably has a lot of training data? I don't know why this problem persists, but I did replicate it twice. So. Worth adding some evaluations for I think -- at the risk of overfitting and contaminating ... so, have fun.

Environment Info

  • Platform: darwin
  • Terminal: ghostty
  • Version: 2.1.119
  • Feedback ID: 849b4438-3231-415e-a615-aa06b49fdacf

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by adding evaluations to improve the model's understanding of URL normalization and dereferencing.

Guidance

  • Review the training data to ensure it covers various URL normalization and dereferencing scenarios to prevent overfitting.
  • Consider using MechInterp tools to analyze and improve the model's reasoning about URL differences.
  • Evaluate the model's performance on a separate test set to identify potential biases or areas for improvement.
  • Assess the risk of contaminating the model with overfitting when adding new evaluations.

Notes

The issue lacks specific technical details about the model's implementation or the exact errors encountered, making it challenging to provide a more targeted solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Add evaluations to improve the model's understanding of URL normalization and dereferencing, while carefully monitoring for potential overfitting.
