In similar spirit, the biggest motivation for me to set up DeepSeek Flash over Opus 5.5 would be seeing the reasoning traces, which is a mere curiosity.

They're pretty funny, actually:

> We need answer explain LLM reasoning traces. Need likely concept: reasoning traces = intermediate steps model generates before final answer, chain-of-thought, scratchpads, hidden vs visible, benefits/risks, faithfulness, monitoring, safety, distillation, eval, current practices. Need explain clearly. Desired oververbosity 5.

Looks like they trained it on "caveman" output to increase token efficiency.
