Summary

Ollama introduces a new feature that allows users to enable or disable the "thinking" capability of its models, offering flexibility in how outputs are generated for different applications. When thinking is enabled, the model separates its thought process from the final output, which can be useful for applications requiring detailed reasoning or interactive experiences. Conversely, disabling thinking results in direct and faster outputs. The feature is supported across different interfaces, including the command-line interface (CLI), interactive sessions, and APIs, as well as in Python and JavaScript libraries. This functionality is demonstrated using the DeepSeek R1 model, and the integration allows for versatile application possibilities, such as animating the thinking process in games or other applications.
