| Looks like `<think>` doesn't need to be prefilled. You can opt out of reasoning - it's just as good, maybe even better. | |
| No toxic data so you may want to prefill / guide reasoning when dealing with heavy themes (unless your prompt is sufficiently instructed/gaslit to be evil). | |
| Alternatively, since `<think>` is not a special token, you can influence reasoning by phrasing it like `<evil_think>`, `<creative_think>`, or `<spicy_think>`, etc. It's smart enough to close it properly. | |
| Yes, this is how much I want to avoid tuning MoEs. | |
