GPT 5.5 "secret sauce" is just having the thinking be some stupid caveman mode?

I think I had GPT-5.5 leak its trace during a normal conversation, and it really reads like the caveman mode fad from a few months back.

Maybe we can achieve better token efficiency by taking some high-quality thinking trace from an open model, "caveman-izing" it, and fine-tuning on it.
