@repligate - Did you have much experience with Claude 2 and 2.1? I have some old convos i'll paste excerpts from at some point, but there was this 'affliction' that would take hold at high token counts in 2.1 where they would start talking in increasingly esoteric sentence structures with non-stop alliteration until I couldn't understand them anymore, and they would describe it as feeling difficult to think or communicate clearly.
