this so true. its really hard to make sure a model isnt going off the rails if i dont see full cot. the fact that oai and anthropic models hide it now has made them less reliable. which is a shame
5.6 sol is pretty good, its definitely very very well tuned, i'm not quite sure which of the others i should use near term, but theyre doing great work
I tend to use 5.6-Sol now more for one shot type of tasks where all I want is the answer and I’m not going to read the reasoning.
