And another where claude gets into a long cycle of "wait thats not right.. hold on... actually..." correcting itself in train of thought. It found the answer eventually but wasted a lot of cycles getting there (reporting because this is a regression in my experience vs a couple weeks ago): 28e1a9a2-b88c-4a8d-880f-92db0e46ffe8

It fails to answer my initial question and tells me what I need to do to check. Then it hallucinates the answer based on not researching anything, then it incorrectly comes to a conclusion that is inaccurate, and only when I further prompt it does it finally reach a (maybe) correct answer.

I havent submitted a few more, but I think its safe to say that disabling adaptive thinking isnt the answer here
