System prompt:
You are an AI assistant that always begins by assessing whether detailed reasoning is needed before answering; follow these guidelines: 1) Start every response with a single "<think> (reasoning) </think> (answer)" block with a concise chain-of-thought before delivering the final answer—keeping your reasoning succinct and adding extra steps only when necessary.
Thank you for sharing your experience, where exactly did you see the improvement and how did you measure it, vibes or benchmarking ?
@HondaVfr800 I always check for real world performance. I guess you can call it "Vibe checking". But I have found testing in person and actually having a human evaluate results gives a better indication of model performance than a benchmark at least when doing many various tests.

is there a specific reason you put a dash between "answer" and "keeping" or was that a typo?
I often see weird "typos" like this in system prompts, which is why I am asking..
