Researchers have discovered a method to exploit API vulnerabilities across major frontier AI companies, allowing them to extract models' hidden internal reasoning chains.
- Verification: The extracted reasoning token count matches the billed API thinking tokens 1:1 for most queried prompts.
- Impact: This exposes the internal reasoning logic that AI providers attempt to keep hidden or encrypted.
