Adjusting Cost by Reasoning Intensity?

While discussing a training/inference mechanism that adjusts costs per token, the author speculated that it might be adjusting the length penalty based on reasoning intensity, which in turn influences the more compressed expression in the CoT.
This is an inference based on observed results rather than an official confirmation, but it points to how model training signals shape output style.
