  Man this is useful, I wish I knew earlier. I should really read the documentation. Or have Claude read it for me.

  Since this is just a keyword, I'd expect you to prepend the entire prompt with a single line that says "think deep" or whichever think-level you want, rather than put "think deep" somewhere that makes sense in english within the prompt, as they do in the article.

    To be clear I think this is an inference-level feature that looks for the string and performs inference at a higher thinking level, rather than a feature the model is trained on. Although I could be wrong, or it could be both.
