I am going off the explanation in the declaude page (and related papers). But I see now anthropic mentions Aaronson's distortion-free watermarking. Random watermarking functions colour the tokens based on (small) contexts and a secret

1. As watermarked text is added to the training data, watermark-related tokens will be associated more with AI outputs and thus lower quality outputs which will hasten model collapse. Especially because every provider has its own secret key

I am interested however in why fine-tuning on reasoning traces of a frontier model is such an effective way of improving an (open-weight) base model. See e.g. https://huggingface.co/hesamation/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-Claude-4.6

Of course we are all guessing, but both things can be true: they don't want you to hit the cache, because cache writes are more profitable than cache reads, and they are supply limited on the compute. Pre-filling input tokens is very d

Incentives to optimize cache-usage are only aligned between anthropic and you, dear user, when there is not enough compute available to serve the tokens fresh. Apparently enough compute is now available that frugal usage is no longer a requ

Did you try the claude reasoning traces finetune for qwen3.6? I find that it works muuch better. I assume the same 3.8 finetune will be released at some pointas well. Edit: link - https://huggingface.co/rico03/Qwen3.6-2

You let the smarter model explore the traces and figure out where the current harness' bottlenecks are for the current LLM. Then you can adjust prompts or tools to fix those.

Exactly! I am not opposed to cloud-based models, but I do only stick to open-weight models because I know I can move my whole stack to local (given enough hardware) and continue development without any of the LLM interaction contracts being
