1) is definitely made worse by post-training, which kinda makes sense, as it’s optimising the weights away from predicting text in language and towards solving binary task completed/not gates
The weird thing is I kinda agree that it feels like I didn’t notice this with earlier models, tho maybe it just took time to start noticing this?
From most used to least used: Claude, DeepSeek, Kimi, Gemini
With claude, it's been writing insanely unreadable comments that read more like poetry than technical writing. I've been wondering if this is a model-family specific problem or a general problem.

How many different model families have you tried? I'm really liking Kimi K3.1, including technical writing
My hunch as well is the behaviors you describe are a product of training towards running human free for longer. I'd prefer something different
