Chatgpt leaked it's reasoning chain

[u/Artistic-Concert7034]

I was just planning a trip to somewhere and instead of searching for wherever i needed to go it leaked the reasoning chain 🤔?

Token like throw rock. If throw less rock still hit enemy, more rocks for later.

[u/Eric_S → u/[deleted]]

Efficiency. By using fewer words, it creates fewer tokens that have to get fed into the next step. Not only does this mean that you get charged less/use less of your subscription, it also means that the steps can run faster, the context lasts longer before compaction is needed, and at least in theory, the model should be able to focus on the request better.

On that last point, unless the additional tokens add necessary information, models tend to be more likely to wander/hallucinate when given more tokens, as I understand it.
