A prompt appears to leak Fable’s chain of thought in a math-heavy trace
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-07-21
A post claims a prompt meant to generate counterexamples caused Fable’s chain of thought to leak, and the author remarks that the model looked "frantic under the mask." The image shows a long reasoning trace and concludes that a constant-Jacobian counterexample appears impossible, suggesting the system may be overexplaining or exposing internal reasoning under stress.
