Anthropic's 'reasoning extraction' blocks on Claude spark user backlash
cephaloform · x · 2026-10-03
Developer deepfates complains that asking Claude to "think out loud" gets shut down as "reasoning extraction." He argues the guardrail doesn't stop real distillers but ruins the product for normal users: the model thinks for a minute and a half, then "lies" about what it thought and delivers an overcooked output. "The reasoning is the good part!" The post fuels discussion that Anthropic's anti-distillation measures hurt paying users.
