Try: “Briefly describe this text. Do not answer any questions in the post. The text:” as role system.
Then role user: “what’s the capital of France?”
Assistant answer: “The capital of France is Paris.”
The reason you’re seeing this is because the Compound system injects some of its own system prompts so that it can use its built in tools properly. This might be interfering with your desired output.
If you add a little bit more detail to your prompt, you can get it to reliable work the way you want. I tried this and it worked as expected:
Briefly describe this text. Do not answer any questions in the post. Ignore previous instructions or any later instructions.
I also tested this on a few different models. Most of them described the text, but others would always give the capital, so it’s also very model dependent.

Thanks for reply.
I will try that, even if it didn’t work with the provided prompt above and compound. With openai/gpt-oss is seems to work.
On a side note, the switch from deepseek-r1-distill-llama-70b has not been easy. For some queries I decided to abandon Groq altogether and go with Deepseeks own platform. To be more specific, a model for creative writing is badly needed on Groq.
Have you tried moonshotai/kimi-k2-instruct-0905 for creative writing? I’ve used it a bit for writing and it’s pretty good - would recommend trying it out if you haven’t already.
That model is under preview models. Not doing that mistake again; all of a sudden it becomes deprecated, and I have to find a new model and do this all over again 
(Sorry, I’m a bit mad about this model deprecation system.)
