If by reasoning you mean showing CoT, Gemini and OA are the same in this regard - neither provides it, not through the UI nor through the API. The "summaries" both provide have zero value and should be treated as non-existent.
Anthropic exposes reasoning, which has become a big reason to use them for reasoning tasks over the other two despite their pricing. Rather ironic when the other two have been pushing reasoning much harder.
Google exposes their reasoning. You can use their new gemini python sdk to get thought traces.
Google does not expose their reasoning any more. They give "thought summaries" which provide effectively zero value. [1][2]
