Benefits of Thinking Mode for Complex Problems
Unlike standard models, Thinking mode 'thinks' internally to verify step-by-step logic before delivering the final answer. This is highly effective for avoiding calculation errors in multi-stage math problems.
Output Differences
Output from Thinking mode is typically cleaner and more structured because the AI filters out the trial-and-error process in the background before presenting the most accurate final result.
