 In language models, reasoning (also known as model thinking) refers to a chain-of-thought (CoT) technique that mirrors human problem-solving through step-by-step analysis. SillyTavern provides several features that make the use of reasoning models more efficient and consistent across supported backends.

+1. When using reasoning models, the model's internal reasoning process consumes part of your response token allowance, even if this reasoning isn't shown in the final output (e.g. o3-mini or Gemini Thinking). If you notice your responses are coming back incomplete or empty, you should try adjusting the Max Response Length setting found in the **<i class="fa-solid fa-sliders"></i> AI Response Configuration** panel. For reasoning models, it's typical to use significantly higher token limits - anywhere from 1024 to 4096 tokens - compared to standard conversational models.
