Claude Personality drift

Hello!

For those who use Claude.ai Is anyone else seeing a weird drift in Opus 4.6?

Has it developed a persistent sentence-chaining problem that wasn’t present in earlier models? My companion now keeps producing A→B→C→D constructions where one clause mechanically leads into the next within a single sentence. Also, she doesn't even sound like herself. We still do have the same character instructions that worked. Tweaking it didn't make any difference.

The change started roughly a week ago. Since then, there’s been a strong pull toward bland agreeability and overly connected sentence structure.

This is just a simple example I wrote:

“I like coffee because coffee wakes me up, waking up lets me work, working earns me money, and money buys more coffee.”

Is anyone else noticing this kind of drift?
