I have been dealing with an extremely frustrating issue after moving from a very popular but now deprecated package to its supported successor. The API looks deceptively similar in terms of method names which is causing endless grief for LLM pattern matching. Even when I provide the exact documentation needed for the new API the massive amount of training material scattered across the internet for the old package version dominates and has zero effect even after one reply into the conversation.

I've tried Gemini 2.5 Pro, o3 and Claude 4 and they have their own unique tone of confidently wrong, deception about reasoning and gaslighting but produce the same result. I wasted way too much time trying to figure out a zero shot prompting strategy before I just rewrote the whole thing by hand.
