# Xiaomi MiMo Thinking Mode (/examples/models/xiaomi/thinking-mode)



Toggle thinking mode with the `use_thinking` flag. `use_thinking=True` makes the model emit `reasoning_content` before its answer; `use_thinking=False` disables it. Latency and token usage depend on the task and returned output. Leaving it unset (None) uses the model default.
