COMMUNITY NOTE: today's models are all reasoning models. This paper's dramatic results, like SynthID came from non-reasoning variants Almost all uncertainty is hashed out during reasoning (where watermarking doesn't happen). The watermarking in the final answer only pivots between syntax & phrasing

But the headline claim of that paper is about watermarking reasoning traces, for some strange reason.

"For reasoning models in particular, we suggest watermarking only the final answer, which we show prevents such degradation." Um, why would anyone watermark reasoning (that's hidden from users)?

right. it’s idiotic. we didn’t need a paper to tell us that
