Their internal behaviour has been hard to study because OpenAI's o1 hides its thoughts. DeepSeek-R1 exposes its reasoning, so the authors use it to launch a research programme they call "Thoughtology." ## All works 6 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1.
