They do, and I want to encourage them to do so because they think through talking. What I don’t want to do is spend time reading all that.

We will probably just get reader-side affordances for this like auto-folded justification and introduction sections and so on.

Doubtless some chat interface will add this the way they’ve added reasoning folding.

		Thinking models think through talking, don't reveal that talking, then answer by again thinking through talking. It's kinda funny in a way.

Is it just a coincidence that the companies creating them charge by the token?

The aligned incentive appears to be realigning in favor of the corporation.

Pray they do not realign them further.

There are times I require single word answers. I will use whatever model responds as I desire and at this point those models are just a few.

		The cost-per-task benchmarks align incentives toward more efficient output and those are the ones gaining steam.
