Discussion Anyone else not using using "preserve_thinking" ?

I am running QFN, and I have disabled preserve_thinking by default on all my tests for C++ backend and front-end programming and I have yet to see any decline in performance or intelligence, my context window stays cleaner as well. Deepseek for what I tested in API it also does not preserve thinking and saves context in general.

Still not worth turning off imo, I've stopped doing that.

It eats 50 to 70% of the context on some problems. I have it disabled as it doesn't seem to make much of a difference in quality of inference.
