To me the reasoning part seems very...sensible?

It tries to stay factual, neutral and grounded to the facts.

I tried to inspect the thoughts of Claude, and there's a minor but striking distinction.

Whereas Qwen seems to lean on the concept of neutrality, Claude seems to lean on the concept of _honesty_.

Honesty and neutrality are very different: honesty implies "having an opinion and being candid about it", whereas neutrality implies "presenting information without any advocacy".

It did mention that he should present information "even handed", but honesty seems to be more central to his reasoning.

Why is it sensible? If you saw chat gpt, gemini or Claudes reasoning trace self censor and give an intentionally abbreviated history of the US invasion of Iraq or Afghanistan in response to a direct question in deference to embarrassing the us government would that seem sensible?

Is Claude a “he” or an “it”?
