I m a bit surprised by this as - during the last 2 months - I 've encountered more often models going ahead of what I have asked from them. It's gotten so annoying that now instead of just saying "Let's plan X" I will also say, "Stop once you 've written the plan." because otherwise there is a distinct (~35% anecdotally) probability that the model will go ahead and implementing the plan as well. [This applies to both Anthropic and OpenAI models btw.]

Plan mode is a useful shortcut when I want to have an agent do read-only work without having to worry about giving it appropriate stop conditions.
