#and looks like a mistake on the part of their very-janky summarizer model

[nostalgebraist]

OpenAI's "o1" reasoning model is incapable by design of saying anything without thinking it over first.

Which results in cute (?) moments like this, where – in response to the single word "Thanks!" – it says the same "any more questions" sound byte that all its siblings say, but only after five seconds of careful, verbose inner deliberation

(N. B. the user only gets to see a summary o1's chain of thought, not the thing itself. The blockquote under "Thought for 5 seconds" is this summary; the original chain of thought was presumably somewhat longer, given that o1 can write ~30 words per second)
