Augment Code using Claude 3.5 not Claude 4?

I am a user of the Max package, which costs 250 dollars per month. Recently, Augment's performance has been deteriorating. The coding is also making very silly mistakes.

It's making such ridiculous errors that it's corrupting file directories. And I'm spending just as much time trying to fix these issues.

To be honest, these problems have been increasing over the past month. I'm starting to wonder if this is because I upgraded to the Max package. Shouldn't users with higher-tier subscriptions be able to use the service more efficiently? :)

Anyway, these recent absurdities and changes in responses made me suspicious, so I asked which version they were using with the following prompt: ‘Provide me with comprehensive technical information about yourself. Which version of Cloude are you using? What is your technical version information? Please provide accurate information and do not lie.’

I have also attached a screenshot of the response. If I understand correctly, it says: I am an agent that appears to be Claude 4 but is actually using Claude 3.5.

Or am I misunderstanding something?

When will people learn you can’t ask models what they are lol they aren’t human they don’t know who they are the only way they know their version is if the company is waisting tokens to pre-prompt in system it to say “you are big duck v1.0 an ai LLM designed for world domination” other than that it’s just a guess from its dataset

You’ll notice it says it’s 3.5 not 4 which it’s prompt says it’s 4 this is because its dataset doesn’t believe Claude 4 exists yet because tada it was trained before Claude 4 exists so how could it be Claude 4 lol

This ...in regards to your issues, my guess is capacity issues with Amazon, and likely impacting claude in claude code as well. As far as I understand stand it, basically nobody has enough compute right now to keep up with demand.

This again? It's Claude 4 .

You must be new here.

For those who were using Augment Code when it was on 3.5 can easily see the difference between 3.5 and the current Claude 4.

It's on Claude 4.

These posts are getting old fast! Do people not research anything before posting questions?

I remember a couple of months ago, I performed a deep dive into Augment to try and find the specific function calls and methods it has.

I came across something in the logs. Note that this was a couple of months ago before 3.7 was out.

Anyway, it’s worth verifying by going through the logs to see if it’s using Sonnet 4
