Reasoning Mode
An execution mode that emphasizes stepwise verification before answering to improve consistency on complex tasks

What is Reasoning Mode?
Reasoning Mode prioritizes decomposition and verification over instant response generation.
How does it work?
The model structures a task into logical steps, validates intermediate outputs, and then produces a final answer.
Why does it matter?
It often improves consistency for multi-step analysis, but can increase latency and usage cost compared to lightweight response modes.
