Sometimes I can find the answer by turning on the transcript view so I can observe its thinking process, but if I don't do that, it almost never answers. anybody else? it annoys me more than I can express and I don't want to read all its thinking all the time. any advice? (im using the claude-desktop app. man I can't wait to get rid of fable - I hate using it, but its really good :-| | ||||||||||| |
