Claude's Extended Thinking Is Visible Again in the Consumer App — but Sonnet 5 Still Hides It
A 216-upvote r/ClaudeAI post with a screenshot reports that Claude's thinking output is being surfaced to users again after a period of being hidden, with the poster noting Sonnet 5 still keeps its reasoning concealed. This is a small but load-bearing UX signal: visible chain-of-thought is what lets practitioners catch a model heading down the wrong path mid-response rather than after a long wait, and the per-model split means the behavior is now inconsistent across Anthropic's own lineup. Anthropic has not published a changelog entry tying this to a specific release, so treat the split as observed rather than announced.
