I actually share that opinion of no comment from LLMs. I just dont want to read them. So as usual, an opinion is… an opinion.

Comments sometimes help the LLM think through a problem. They are particularly useful if you have thinking disabled, eg. it's not uncommon to run Qwen3.6 locally, but its thinking is extremely verbose, so it's fast if you disable thinking, but doing that will sometimes cause it to think a little in comments, and if you disable that too, then it will produce worse output.

Comments can always be stripped reliably later.

		That is interesting, I had no idea comments were used in the process. I've only been using frontier models with maxed thinking, but this could be useful on the other end.
