The part about taking control of a reasoning model's output length using <think></think> tags is interesting.

I had found a few days ago that this let you 'inject' your own CoT and jailbreak it easier. Maybe these are related?

This even points to a reason why OpenAI hides the "thinking" step: it would be too obvious that the context is being manipulated to induce more thinking.

It's weird that you need to do that at all, couldn't you just reject that token and use the next most probable?
