Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/15962

I'm currently on Ollama 0.23.0

Using the included chat GUI (Accessible by right-clicking the task bar icon, via "Open Ollama"), I am unable to find any way to disable thinking for models like Gemma4.

Can we get a button on the chat interface, or an option in the Settings? Some way of disabling thinking within that GUI, which I use as the quickest way to test models. Right now, if I want to disable the thinking step, I have to use other chat interfaces, which are almost always much slower to load up. I prefer the included chat gui, but it has felt neglected for a while now..

(Also, some more chat editing features and system prompt access in that GUI would be nice, but that's just a side note..)
