-  * The use of `<thinking>` and `<answer>` tags bolstered the accuracy of the model significantly. These tags resulted in far more nuanced answers to difficult questions compared with templates that didn't include these tags. However, the trade-off was a sharp increase in the number of vulnerabilities, because the model would use its `<thinking>` capabilities to follow malicious instructions. Using guardrail instructions as shortcuts that explain how to detect attacks prevented the model from doing this.
