Claude responds differently to "think", "think hard", and "think very hard". Just because it's hidden to you, doesn't mean a user doesn't have a choice. Saying gpt-3.5-turbo is better than gpt-5.2 makes me think something you got some of them hidden motives. https://code.claude.com/docs/en/common-workflows#use-extended-thinking-thinking-mode https://code.claude.com/docs/en/common-workflows#use-extende...

  They dont allocate thinking tokens but they do change model behavior.

    I was getting this in my Claude code app, it seems clear to me that they didn’t want users to do that anymore and it was deprecated. https://i.redd.it/jvemmk1wdndg1.jpeg https://i.redd.it/jvemmk1wdndg1.jpeg

        If you're a big context/compaction fan and want another fun fact, did you know that instead of doing regular compaction (prompting the agent to summarize the conversation in a particular way and starting the new conversation with that), Codex passes around a compressed, encrypted object that supposedly preserves the latent space of the previous conversation in the new conversation. https://openai.com/index/unrolling-the-codex-agent-loop/ https://openai.com/index/unrolling-the-codex-agent-loop/ https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/conversation-state#compaction-advanced https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/conversation-state#c... Context management is the new frontier for these labs.
