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.
