Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When using the Deepseek-R1 model for chat discussions, the generated chat titles are pulled from the "CoT" (Chain-of-Thought) section of the model's output rather than the actual response provided by the model. This results in titles that do not accurately reflect the content or intent of the discussion, making it less useful for tracking and referencing specific chats.

Describe the solution you'd like

The desired behavior is to have chat titles generated based on the model's response section (the main output) instead of the CoT section. This would ensure that the titles are more representative of the actual content discussed and provide a clearer reference point for users.

Describe alternatives you've considered

An alternative approach is to manually set chat titles, but this would require additional steps and may not be as seamless as automatically generating them from the model's output. Another option is to create an additional setting where users can choose between using the CoT or response sections for title generation.

Additional context

This issue specifically impacts users who rely on Deepseek-R1 for their chat discussions, particularly in scenarios where accurate and meaningful titles are crucial for tracking and organizing conversations. The current behavior can lead to confusion and reduced efficiency when trying to review past interactions.
