In my recent explorations [1] I noticed it got really stuck on the first thing I said in the chat, obsessively returning to it as a lens through which every new message had to be interpreted. Starting new sessions was very useful to get a fresh perspective. Like a human, an AI that works on a writing piece with you is too close to the work to see any flaw.

Interesting I’ve noticed the same behavior with Gemini 3.0 but not with Claude, and Gemini 2.5 did not have this behavior. I wonder what tuning is optimising for here.

Probably because the chat name is named after that first message
