What are thinking modes?

A thinking mode sets how much Bluedeer thinks before it answers, and you choose one at the bottom of the message box.

Every message box has a thinking mode. It controls how much time Bluedeer spends thinking before it answers. The default is Balance.

The four modes

Mode	What it does
Instant	Answers without thinking
Balance	Quick, considered answers (the default)
Smart	More time for harder work
Max	Maximum reasoning effort

Change the mode

Open the thinking mode menu at the bottom of the message box.
Choose a mode.

The menu closes, and the mode you chose applies to the messages you send next.

Which mode to choose

Use Instant for simple questions or short rewrites. Use Smart or Max for longer analysis, planning or difficult code. Higher modes take longer to answer.
