A new paper has revealed a method to extract reasoning tokens from proprietary LLM APIs, including those from Claude and generative pre-trained transformer models. This technique allows for a 100% view of the reasoning process, which has implications for benchmarking, as it suggests some models may be memorizing benchmark answers rather than truly solving them. The findings also indicate that the "strange" reasoning patterns observed in open-source models are common even in frontier models, and that this extraction method may have been used for model distillation, potentially slowing down future efforts.
