1. they disabled thinking traces, allegedly to prevent distillation

2. but anyone who's seen the thinking traces sees the problem: loop after loop after loop. The thinking traces keep saying "wait, the user said..." It's your original prompt being read -from scratch - by another layer in the model. For some reason they decided this was the way. Loop after loop after loop until you get perfection. That's why one prompt costs $40 to process now
