claude sonnet "thinking"?

im not sure how to make open code use the claude sonnet thinking model with my claude pro plan? im using sonnet fine, but unclear how to make it "thinking".?

Have you tried using the word "think" in your prompt?

Ask Claude to make a plan for how to approach a specific problem. We recommend using the word "think" to trigger extended thinking mode, which gives Claude additional computation time to evaluate alternatives more thoroughly. These specific phrases are mapped directly to increasing levels of thinking budget in the system: "think" < "think hard" < "think harder" < "ultrathink." Each level allocates progressively more thinking budget for Claude to use.

Here's an example: https://opencode.ai/s/BT8v9iuG (in the middle, I ask it to think hard).

But yeah, it's not clear when it's using the thinking mode.
In Claude Code there's an indicator * Thinking. Maybe opencode should show thinking... instead of working... in that case.

thanks for the info!

we don't support this yet but we're talking about how to implement it

@thdxr

@thdxr To clarify, do you mean that extended thinking modes do not yet work, or is it opencode exposing Claude's thought process a-la * Thinking in Claude Code that isn't working... or both?

I'd love the extended thinking feedback, but I kind of rely on extended thinking for a lot of my work so I need to understand whether or not it's actually working or if I should wait until there is some basic support for extended thinking modes.

@thdxr any reply on this? it's a pretty important distinction.

@IV2KBMoFxYIA

We now have thinking blocks @IV2KBMoFxYIA, we need better documentation but w/ anthropic models we do not have thinking enabled by default, I will comment a config here of how to do it and then I will probably update docs too

/thinking will make thinking blocks show

they look like:

Please do so! I've been waiting for this! Better yet, just update the docs and link it here.

@nerdo

@nerdo here is how you can set it in your opencode.json for anthropic:

"provider": {
    "anthropic": {
      "name": "Anthropic",
      "models": {
        "claude-sonnet-4-20250514": {
          "options": {
            "thinking": {
              "type": "enabled",
              "budgetTokens": 16000
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }

So it's permanently on all the time?

I recall Dax mentioning wanting to add a better DX for doing it dynamically but rn it is by config only

@rekram1-node

@rekram1-node is the thinking block missing from the new v1.0+?

@iamhenry

@iamhenry there is one:

One may argue it is non obvious if it is an assistant message vs reasoning one.

Here is share link too: https://opencode.ai/s/z6QQSSh9

Ah, yes. It just wasn't clear I guess. Thanks!
