Reasoning modes

The brain icon next to the message box controls how this model reasons. Click it to cycle through the modes the selected model supports. Two separate ideas combine here:

Thinking — whether the model reasons

  • Off — the model answers immediately. Fastest and cheapest; ideal for simple, direct tasks.
  • On — the model first works through the problem in a dedicated reasoning pass before replying. Slower and uses more tokens, but markedly more accurate on multi-step, logical, or ambiguous tasks.

Effort — how hard it thinks

Only effort-capable models expose this; it applies once thinking is on.
  • High — standard reasoning depth. The right default for most agentic work.
  • Max — the model reasons longer and deeper for the hardest problems. More tokens and latency in exchange for higher quality on complex work.

Button states

StateColourMeaning
OffgrayThinking off — direct answer
OnblueThinking on — no effort control
HighpurpleThinking on, standard effort
MaxorangeThinking on, maximum effort
Each model shows only the states it genuinely supports. If a model always reasons (can’t be turned off) or has no effort control, the button reflects that and locks where there’s nothing to change. Wolffish remembers your choice per model. On OpenAI: GPT-5 and o-series models support Off / High / Max (Max maps to OpenAI’s xhigh effort). Note: OpenAI’s chat API can’t combine reasoning effort with tool calls, so during tool-using turns Wolffish drops the effort and the model reasons at its default.
