Hah, yeah even when you put it in AGENTS.md or a skill.. constantly having to remind it.. "what does AGENTS.md" say about doing that?".. Thinking.. Thinking.. "Oh, it says I should never do that, I'll remember that next time.."

Next session - same thing.

I don't know how people are managing hands-off with Sol/Astra over long horizon tasks. It will come up with 100 new concepts/terms and then use them as if you've been following every Edit call for 24 hours.

Devin shows model thinking.

I’m pretty sure the big bois don’t do it because it would undermine “confidence”.

Seeing a model output “Oh I should just delete blah. Wait blah is a production service, I shouldn’t touch that. Maybe I can gain access to blah? Oh the aws cli isn’t signed in to blah. I see kubectl has access to blah though! Wait, I should ask user permission first.”

Yeaaaaah. Thinking tokens are fuckin’ wild.

You can double click on the 'thinking' text and it will expand and you can read it. The problem is that it will often have multiple thinking/tool call sections and it can be a needle/haystack problem to find the one with the thinking you are interested in.

Ah, but you CAN see the thinking if you are willing to risk your account being banned. You just have to expose a "tool" with a specially crafted definition.

I don't think it's twitter. My guess would be that it's been trained for conciseness as way to improve token efficiency in the same vein as caveman.

SpaceX is a defense contractor (I don't mean this in a bad way). When the whole DoD/Anthropic thing flared up, I can guarantee you that SpaceX.ai was the first company invited to take their place as DoD AI provider.

I suspect that they specifically train Grok to be able to work well with military personnel -- speaking the way they speak: brief, to the point, efficient communication. Personally I really like this. Claude sounds like some demented clown from the marketing department.
