  "transcript": "From a user-experience perspective I have always liked reading the reasoning of models, because it can actually tell you a lot about how the model is approaching the problem you put in front of it. Very often, I would simultaneously read the reasoning and it would help me to reflect on my own reasoning of a project. I think they removed it because other AI companies were using that to train their own models on that output, but it effectively makes a worse product. I tried Qwen recently again for a Screenplay, and realized how much I miss that feature. Anthropic, if you read this, please bring it back!\n\n\n\n--- Top Comments ---\n\n\n[18 upvotes] I hate it as well. its harder to spot when it misunderstands my prompt\n\n[7 upvotes] It's a major concern for engineering (not software) because the models hit blocks, data issues, or just make shit up and you can't monitor for that kind of behaviour anymore\n\nIn a world where some people are incredibly stupid and lazy but still have quite a lot of responsibility it's kind of terrifying.\n\nI've been trying to tell important people that this is a big problem, but to a degree they're used to a sub-par copilot experience so it's difficult to get anyone to care.\n\nI agree with you though. It's a terribly shitty change to model architecture and I don't think it will do squat against distillation attacks.\n\nI don't think this change is really about distillation if I'm honest. I think they want to hide the fundamental flaws in the tech for IPO, but the consequence stakes are pretty bad.\n\n[8 upvotes] they don't allow it because it makes 'distillation' attacks on the model harder\n\n[2 upvotes] As of right now opus 4.5 doesn’t have thinking mode, fable does, and opus 4.6 does as well. I’m not sure what models are not showing the thought but if you use Claude desktop you can turn on thinking mode.",
