Right, I don't think researchers are confused on this point.. the anthropic piece is good outreach / science comms. OTOH this thread has like 200 comments and no mention of faithful/faithless reasoning. The idea that "of course the models can reason and here is the proof/artifact" is probably closer to the general understanding. That's kinda the whole setup for TFA and all the rest of the thread.

But the nuance under discussion here is exactly the kind of stuff you people take for granted in the AGI or reasoning threads. If it's practically relevant for tools/workflows with claude code, it's a good angle, maybe people are more willing to pay more attention to the details.
