Is there a model that doesn't need babysitting? Half my day is spent untangling BS that Claude and Codex hallucinate. Particularly around hallucinated product requirements. Its still faster than hand-writing code but only just. I'm seriously considering just going back to the early copilot days where I lead coding and just let it try to auto-correct. That was a great balance of AI enhancing my speed and workflows without removing any confidence in what was being shipped.

give your models a more organized context/harness if they are hallucinating product requirements... and I'm not talking about some hulking context framework. just organize your documentation in a canonical way. This product requirements hallucination is something that would bite me constantly if...they ever actually hallucinated them (and they don't, ever). This is most certainly user error.

You're untangling hallucinated BS from Opus 5.5/Fable?

We are literally in this thread because so-called frontier SOTA Claude models are shitting the bed and require babysitting. So this argument is essentially moot.
