ChatGPT users report shortened or removed thinking process display

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Users are reporting that ChatGPT's "thinking process" or "chain of thought" display has been significantly shortened or removed entirely. This change, observed across both ChatGPT Pro and what users are calling "ChatGPT 5.5," now primarily shows only the web pages searched rather than the detailed reasoning steps. Some speculate this is an intentional change by OpenAI, possibly to reduce computational load or prepare for upcoming model releases like GPT-6. AI

IMPACT Users are observing changes in how ChatGPT displays its reasoning, potentially impacting transparency and user understanding of its processes.
