Assistant is getting hung up on whitespace... A lot

This isn’t the first prompt or query it’s done this one, or file for that matter.

It seems to spend a tremendous amount of its own brewing time on matching whitespace, which is the least relevant thing when I’m looking for help from it.

I like to watch it’s thought logs, and I can see it strike upon a solve relatively quickly, but then about 90% of its bake time is just presentation. Unacceptable imo.

I’d like it to minimize it’s focus on whitespace, even when I add such an instruction to my query, it’s only brought up once the AI has already spun the block once or twice on whitespace matching. And even then, it’ll go back to whitespace matching one step later. Wild.

Expected behavior

I’d like it to minimize it’s focus on whitespace from a baseline perspective. Results now are better than pretty after a while. Especially when our daily limit is at risk.

Even after finally getting a proposed fix, the code generator once again gets itself into a twister.

It eventually found whatever discrepancy was throwing it for a loop.

Still hitting this after accepting script changes this prompt under multi_edit P:

I feel like “I’m second guessing myself” is such a harbinger.


Honestly, I feel like if the assistant should ignore tabs, or have some sort of robust linear tool to determine the indent level of a given tab, rather than relying on its own parsing.

Hi @TheFaeTwins, I was able to reproduce the issue and have switched your account to a different setup. Please let us know if you’re still seeing the problem.

It looks like the tools are doing right thing, but the model may be stripping out tabs and empty lines.

Thanks for the bug report!

I think this is fixed?

I’ve been trying to utilize the assistant in a way that would test both the bugs I’ve had filed, while monitoring the thought-chains.

I’m going to mark this as resolved as it looks like it had immediate stop-fixes for mutiple issues it’s struggled with in the past.

Okay, I’m not sure if I can take this off solved, but while it is remarkably better, it’s definitely tripping on multi_edit requiring exact whitespace matches:

Though it does truncate itself and drop a warning :))
