Hello ollama devs!

Thank you for your amazing work!

It would be good to have an option to enable/disable thinking/reasoning for all the models in the UI, perhaps in Settings.

This feature is already available in the ollama CLI.

For reference, I attach a UI mockup about how I envision the feature.

Disabling the thinking in models such as gemma4:e4b would shorten the response time by 2x-5x.

Thanks!
