There is no way in the OpenAI
chat/completionsspecification to mark input message content as thoughts/reasoning. So far we're just passing all text through as regular content, which can lead to model confusion because it can't differentiate between actual model responses and thoughts from previous turns.Therefore, it's safer to skip them entirely. Thoughts should not matter too much for subsequent turns. Ideally this would be supported by the API, but the tradeoff of skipping is safer.
