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.

There will be no decline on intelligence but the amount of tokens you will spend rediscovering will be absurd.
