alt Hacker NewsI don't believe this is a context problem.
Claude Opus 4.7 has a very large context compared to itself, but IME it is the worst at following instructions, and completely disregards the (small) preferences prompt, even in the first or second message, even if the messages are just a few characters long.
IMO this is entirely a training problem.

Isn't a large context window still a problem though? At the upper bound, the more you put in the more each sentence washes out within that window?
