• 2026-10-20 (~11:06 PM ET — https://x.com/steipete/status/2112764729240461687): steipete RTs Cheng Lou on GPT-6.1-Sol reasoning traces being "totally legible," including the claim the trace is "inventing German from first principles"; the same quoted lines also attach to nichochar's post (~12:38 AM ET, Oct 21 — https://x.com/nichochar/status/2112765374748110895). Single-source X observation, meme-framed ("Lisan al Gaib"), no trace artifact in capture. Watch: the trace itself, interpretability-community engagement, any primary OpenAI confirmation.
