Why Use Thinking Mode?
Gemini 2.5 Pro is highly effective for tasks requiring deep reasoning. By observing the 'thinking' process, you can verify whether the AI's logic is sound or contains errors before accepting the final response.
Task Suitability
Use this mode specifically for complex math problems, logic puzzles, or debugging code. For casual conversation, this mode may feel slower as the AI takes extra time to 'think' through its response.
