@menelic , thanks for your perspective — that makes a lot of sense, and it's something that didn't strike me. Coming to think of it, I'm sure there'd be other use cases too (code modifications, etc.).

And your use case will be especially propelled once we release customisable buttons and prompts (something @momokrono has very kindly mostly implemented already :D).

Now here's some AWESOME news: Writing Tools happens to already support reasoning models haha!

I went through the DeepSeek R1 documentation, and it uses the same OpenAI API we already support. The best part? There are no reasoning tokens (to exclude) when not using streaming, which is how Writing Tools currently operates.

To use R1, simply open Writing Tools settings and set:
Base URL: https://api.deepseek.com/v1
API Model: deepseek-reasoner
API Key: your DeepSeek API key

The same easy existing support for R1 should extend to the macOS version too.

Annnd it even supports Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking just fine! (which does not output reasoning tags unless you ask for it with a new API flag). To use it, simply modify your config.json like so (in the next update I'll add it to the Settings dropdown for Gemini models):

@davidcampos and @menelic have fun!

Support reasoning models like deepseek r1 #109
