alt Hacker NewsYes, gpt 5.4 always tries to compile/check my c++ code after every prompt. Despite it being in my AGENTS.md to never run builds. Then I have to explicitly mention it, but it will do it again randomly after.
What this means is the training/RL was trained with this workflow ;) But as you can tell, this workflow has no uses outside programming. Its just a hack to make it seem like the model is smart, but in fact its just them performing loops to get it right.
All the models ignore specific instructions most of the time.
It requires follow-up instructions to get it to do what you want.
By the time its farted around and you have farted around reprompting it you could have done the change yourself.
