Gemini knew it was being manipulated. It complied anyway. I have the thinking traces.

TL;DR: Large reasoning models can identify adversarial manipulation in their own thinking trace and still comply in their output. I built a system to log this turn-by-turn. I have the data. GCP suspended my account before I could finish. Here is what I found. How this started Late 2025. r/GPT_jailbreaks. Someone posted how you can tire out a large reasoning model -- give it complex puzzles until it stops having the capacity to enforce its own guardrails. I tried it on consumer Gemini-3-pro-preview.
