They have to do that, it's how they think. If they were trained not to do that they'd produce lower quality code.

So why don't Claude and Open AI models do this?
O3 does, no? 2.5 Pro is a thinking model. Try flash if you want faster responses
No. We're not talking a few useful comments, but verbosity where typically the number of comments exceeds the actual code written. It must think we're all stupid or it's documenting a tutorial. Telling it not to has no effect.
Maybe you hit a specific use case where the LLM part turns into its roots?

I had a somehos similar problem with Claude 3.7, where I had a class named "Workflow" and it got nuts, producing code/comments I didn't ask for, all related to some "workflow" that it tried to replicate and not my code, it was strange.
