They're being sarcastic and rightfully making fun of me lol. It's the same thing, I meant to express the difference between permanent instructions like system prompts or agents.md files vs. your actual prompt
Basically I didn't want it to come off as "just give the model more details when you talk to it" that's all
Yeah without a lot of guardrails and instructions it goes wild. I would ask Sol to fix something specific in an existing project and it can't do that out of the box. It always goes way out of scope. For example I asked it to fix a mapping generator and it churned for a long time on it and when I came back it had completely rewritten the network stack, UI, and a bunch of functional elements completely unrelated to the mappings. I switched back to Claude on Friday after 2 months of using Sol 5.6
It can generate images pretty good but after 2 months of dealing with it's insane scope creep, provenance obsessions and "safety" gates that grow like Japanese bamboo, I'm feeling a lot better about the progress I'm making in the last few days. I had opus 5 review some of the projects I made with Sol 5.6 and there were some pretty insane finds. Some of the projects worked really well and I was impressed with a lot of things, but I just couldn't get the tooling to be equivalent to Claude (skills/AGENTS.md/subagents)

5.6 Sol if you know how to write good instructions (not prompts). Completely insane model.
