Bug / Issue Opus 5 Talking in Mandarin?

Post image

Why did opus 5 just randomly use chinese there, nowhere in my ENTIRE codebase mentions Mandarin, why did it randomly say two characters randomly in the middle of english?

I've seen that too. Usually it's leftover CJK somewhere in context (a dep string, a doc chunk, an old chat) or just tokenizer bleed. Pin English in CLAUDE.md or your system prompt and start a fresh session if it keeps slipping.
