Description

OpenAI's models traditionally score higher on coding benchmarks using a FRACTION of the tokens of other models, especially Gemini's 250k per task average, and that's the benefit of the "Grug speak" theory of model efficiency that was leaked in certain GPT 5.5 reasoning traces.

lol, those reasoning traces are basically how I write when I write temporary working notes for myself that I expect no other people to read. Especially if I write with pen and paper.
