You seem very... suspicious.

Oddly enough, some generators still show the inner thinking in the coding chat.

It's fake. The dev posts here, on Lemmy. Check out their most recent post, just a couple of days ago.

Nice, nice. Take your time, no worries.

If you see one of their recent posts, they address this. They didn't expect the AI coding helper to be so popular which is why they had to use a cheaper, dumber model to keep costs down.

Unavoidable, considering the nature of the site's monetisation, which is to say, none.

EDIT: and to be fair, the AI has become more economical. It no longer rambles and goes off on tangents and thinking loops.

What it is now, is more of a tool than a companion, which is honestly fine for a coding helper.
