Problem Description

As more and more models come with support for optional reasoning (e.g. LLaMa4, Granite 3.2+), it would make sense to support such an option in the UI, allowing users this flexibility while interacting with these models.

Desired Solution you'd like

Add a "reasoning" button under the chat box similar to "web search", "image" and "code interpreter", which would set the control role to "thinking" for supported models. This could also be based on a capability of "reasoning" defined for each respective model.
