I believe the "thinking out loud" is fundamentally part of the process of "text completion" which is what it is doing. Certainly we can (and do) break things apart and add layers that could be used to effectively do this by adding more steps and processing time. But ultimately in a single turn, the entire conversation up to that point (including instructions you may have added telling it to not think out loud) is the input, and the output will reflect that.
