> This beta header hides thinking from the UI, since most people don't look at it.

I look at it, and I am very upset that I no longer see it.

There is a setting if you'd like to continue to see it: showThinkingSummaries.

See the docs: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings#available-settings

I read his comment and still replied. I think his claim that nobody reads thinking blocks and that thinking blocks increase latency is nonsense. I am not going to figure out which settings I need to enable because after reading this thread I cancelled my subscription and switched over to Codex. Because I had the exact same experience as many in this thread.

Also what is that "PR advice"—he might as well wear a suit. This is absolutely a nerd fight.

I also have similar experience with their API, i.e. some requests get stalled for minutes with zero events coming in from Anthropic. Presumably the model does this "extended thinking" but no way to see that. I treat these requests as stuck and retry. Same experience in Claude Code Opus 4.6 when effort is set to "high"—the model gets stuck for ten minutes (at which point I cancel) and token count indicator doesn't increase.

I am not buying what this guy says. He is either lying or not telling us everything.

Wrote my own harness with introspection/long form thinking as a tool that the model can use to plan. Works really well with opus. I can’t use Claude code sadly, it sits there ticking for minutes seemingly doing absolutely nothing although I know it’s working. I hate that as an experience and built my harness with the philosophy of always having something streaming on the ui.

Btw the system prompt length in CC is getting to be insane.
