Problem Description
I am connected my openrouter to the openwebui and I noticed that the model thoughts are not being displayed. I find this infuriating since if the model never send the end-thinking token, I might never see the final outputs. Is there a setting that I am missing?
Desired Solution you'd like
Adding a toggle in the Advanced Parameter setting would be perfect.

Do you have Stream Chat Response on? (in settings/models/model-pencil/advanced params)

@rgaricano I have tried both on and off in the settings and none of the reasoning models thoughts are generated when using a model from openrouter, but the model's think does appear when I run the thinking model locally.

If thinking doesn't appaer on local, try indicating on the system prompt or prompt which should show the thinking, thought or reasoning process.
That's how it worked for me.
(Sorry, I misread it, now I see that you said that it works locally)

@rgaricano Yeah, I was hoping webui would have the thinking tokens from openrouter, i enjoy reading the thoughts more than the final output.
Here is an example:
