OMG this is such an annoying property, just shut the hell up please, and be concise.
I suspect that this is an artifact of the thinking property, but please just summarize the thinking process far more concisely, where a single sentence answer is more than sufficient the frontier models seem devoted to going on to a minimum of 5 paragraphs and offering 3-5 new directions.
And requests to please only offer a single step at once, or single option at once, or to even stop eagerly offering future directions is really hard to prompt correctly.
And look, there I did exactly what I was complaining about...
