Toggle Thinking Mode

Compare a MiMo agent with use_thinking enabled against one with it disabled.

Code

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.xiaomi import MiMo

# Thinking enabled - returns reasoning_content
thinking_agent = Agent(
    model=MiMo(id="mimo-v2.5-pro", use_thinking=True),
    markdown=True,
)

# Thinking disabled - faster, no reasoning_content
non_thinking_agent = Agent(
    model=MiMo(id="mimo-v2.5-pro", use_thinking=False),
    markdown=True,
)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    thinking_agent.print_response("Why is the sky blue?", stream=True)

    non_thinking_agent.print_response("Why is the sky blue?", stream=True)
