Ollama has introduced a new feature that enables its AI models to engage in distinct thinking processes separate from their responses. This enhancement is particularly beneficial for thoughtful models such as DeepSeek-R1-0528, allowing for multiple periods of reflection within the reasoning chain. Users can also disable the thinking feature to receive direct responses when preferred. The thinking capability is integrated across Ollama's API, command-line interface (CLI), and libraries, providing developers with flexible tools to leverage this functionality. Early observations highlight improvements in the model's ability to avoid repetitive search loops and exhibit clearer phases of thought during processing.
