Researchers have developed a new framework called RECAST that can reconstruct the chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning process of large, closed-source AI models, even when their internal workings are hidden. Existing methods fail to extract CoT from models like Claude Sonnet 5.5, GPT-6.1, and Gemini 3.* due to API limitations and filtering. RECAST addresses this by conditioning a decoder on the model's question and final answer to generate a structured rationale, which is then cleaned to produce data suitable for supervised fine-tuning (SFT). This approach allows for the reconstruction of CoT without relying on hidden reasoning channels, making it a novel method for understanding the decision-making of frontier models. AI
IMPACT Enables deeper analysis of closed-source LLMs, potentially improving interpretability and fine-tuning capabilities.
