The Over-Editing Problem in AI Coding Models
The article investigates the 'Over-Editing problem' where AI coding models rewrite more code than necessary to fix bugs. Evaluations of frontier models like GPT-5.4 and Claude Opus 4.6 show that explicit prompting to preserve code significantly reduces over-editing. Furthermore, reinforcement learning training can teach models to be more faithful editors without degrading general coding ability.
