As boring as it is that's probably the case.

There is a weird intensity to the way they're hiding these chain of thought outputs though. I mean, to date I've not seen anything but carefully curated examples of it, and even those are rare (or rather there's only 1 that I'm aware of).

So we're at the stage where:

- You're paying for those intermediate tokens

- According to OpenAI they provide invaluable insight in how the model performs

- You're not going to be able to see them (ever?).

- Those thoughts can (apparently) not be constrained for 'compliance' (which could be anything from preventing harm to avoiding blatant racism to protecting OpenAI's bottom line)

- This is all based on hearsay from the people who did see those outputs and then hid it from everyone else.

You've got to be at least curious at this point, surely?
