Sometimes, in conversation, Opus 4.8 generates completely new words and phrases that definitely don’t exist in normal speech. It happened, for example, today while discussing a pretty heavy topic and I had the thought that it might be a result of dense context - when the model is trying to find the right words and starts stitching them together on the fly. I’ve only noticed this with Opus 4.8. And I really love this little quirk of his.
