If I remember correctly, basically all 'closed' models don't output the raw chain of thought, but only a high-level summary, to avoid other companies using those to train/distill their own models.

As far as I know deepseek is one of the few where you have the full chain of thought. Openai/Anthropic/Google give you only a summary of the chain of thoughts.



That’s a good explanation for the behavior. It is sad that the natural direction of the competition drives the products to be less transparent. That is a win for open-weight models.


To add clarity, it's a win for open-weight models precisely because only their CoT can be analyzed by the user for task-specific alignment.
