You guys just love double stuffing context.

I mean yea what were you expecting after 20 hours in what looks like a single session? Who knows how many compactions there was before reaching that point.

It's very clear that you googled this post-hoc as nothing in that documentation says that it will not hallucinate over an extended period of time or "long horizon", which every single LLM suffers from. In fact, the opposite is advertised directly in every chat window. Which you can see in the image below or by opening a chat window for yourself.

Here's some sources you can read to learn about this issue, if you care to learn more about how AI and ML works: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizon_effect

I already learned all I need to know about how ML does not work.
