I must be doing something wrong. I gave v4 pro a try a couple of days ago, gave it a simple prompt like "clean up functions x and y in file z" and it would always start off promising, just to quickly get sidetracked, start hallucinating problems in the code, and just get stuck for hours until I interrupt it:

— hmm — 0x2D696370 — little-endian bytes: 70 63 69 2D = 'p','c','i','-' — hmm — WAIT — WAIT — !!!!! — *WAIT — WAIT — WAIT — WAIT — WAIT — WAIT — *HOLD ON — HOLD ON — HOLD ON — WAIT — WAIT — WAIT — WAIT — WAIT — WAIT — WAIT — !!!!!!!! — *WAIT — WAIT — WAIT — WAIT — WAIT — WAIT — WAIT — WAIT — *OK — WAIT — I THINK I FINALLY SEE THE WHOLE PICTURE — I NEVER READ IT — AND — THE LAYOUT — hmm — !!!!! — *WAIT — WAIT — WAIT — WAIT — WAIT — WAIT — WAIT — WAIT — WAIT — HOLD ON — HOLD ON — HOLD ON — HOLD ON

Then gave the same to Sonnet 5 and it was done 15 - 30 minutes later. I tried v4 pro both in claude code and codewhale with similar results. Haven't tried the new deepseek harness.
