Why Is the "Mondays" Dialogue Showing Up in My Summaries?

Bug

I’m getting the “Mondays” conversation in my summaries:

I’ve seen that in my logs- it seems to be intended to help the model interpret the format? But it shouldn’t end up visible to users.

This behavior started after changing two things:

  1. Switched from sonnet 3.5 to haiku 3.5
  2. Deleted existing summaries from the ai_summaries table with AiSummary.destroy_all. Maybe this isn’t sufficient?

Is every summary like that after changing to Claude Haiku 3.5?

No, about half- about 5 out of 10 summaries generated. I’ve tried switching back to sonnet to see if that fixes it, but am running into rate limits so this may take a while to characterize.

Can you check the entire API request and response from a topic where this happened and share with me? It will be on the ai_api_audit_logs table.

Not at the moment unfortunately. But I did look at that earlier and found the response for that topic was a valid summary with no mention of Mondays. Is there any way it could get confused post-response? If nothing comes to mind I’ll give you a more definitive example in the next couple days.

Our logging into ai_api_audit_logs is guaranteed, any successful responses are logged there and you should see the entire prompt. Is there any way you can run data explorer and look at the contents of the table?

I get the Mondays when I hit a rate limit at Anthropic, at least with haiku. I can try to fix the rate limit but it would be nice to fail and not display Mondays.

/logs:

Job exception: {"type":"error","error":{"type":"rate_limit_error","message":"Number of request tokens has exceeded your per-minute rate limit (https://docs.anthropic.com/en/api/rate-limits); see the response headers for current usage.

Request from ai_api_audit_logs. I’ve redacted the real user content:

Clicking on the Summarize button displays this:

That would mean that they are returning a 200 response when you hit a rate limit instead of a 429.

This would be a bug on their API. Can you open a bug report there?

They want the network traffic including headers. I don’t see how I can get that from my browser, either by pushing the Summarize button or by triggering the sidekiq job.

We don’t log that, you would need to reproduce issuing a cURL from your server and pass that forward.

You can also supply them with msg_01QPVSmg93tu21WtPUvoNZ33 they can look that up directly in their logs.

Any news from Anthropic given the request id provided by Sam @markschmucker ?

If you are still rate-limited, maybe try halving the backfill batch size.
