Configuration for "thinking" behavior of compatible Gemini models.

Certain models utilize a thinking process before generating a response. This allows them to reason through complex problems and plan a more coherent and accurate answer.

Properties

ThinkingConfig.includeThoughts

Whether to include "thought summaries" in the model's response.

Thought summaries provide a brief overview of the model's internal thinking process, offering insight into how it arrived at the final answer. This can be useful for debugging, understanding the model's reasoning, and verifying its accuracy.

Signature:

includeThoughts?:boolean;

ThinkingConfig.thinkingBudget

The thinking budget, in tokens.

This parameter sets an upper limit on the number of tokens the model can use for its internal "thinking" process. A higher budget may result in higher quality responses for complex tasks but can also increase latency and cost.

The range of supported thinking budget values depends on the model.

• To use the default thinking budget for a model, leave this value undefined.
• To disable thinking, when supported by the model, set this value to `0`.
• To use dynamic thinking, which allows the model to decide on the thinking budget based on the task, set this value to `-1`.

An error will be thrown if you set a thinking budget for a model that does not support this feature or if the specified budget is not within the model's supported range.

The model will also error ifthinkingLevel andthinkingBudget are both set.

Signature:

thinkingBudget?:number;

ThinkingConfig.thinkingLevel

If not specified, Gemini will use the model's default dynamic thinking level.

thinkingLevel?:ThinkingLevel;
