Jan users seek Qwen3.5 thinking toggle
A Reddit post in r/LocalLLaMA asks how to enable Qwen3.5's reasoning mode inside Jan, the open-source desktop app for running local and cloud AI models. It is a support-style community question rather than a product announcement, but it points to real demand for clearer model-specific controls in local AI tooling.
// ANALYSIS
Local AI apps win or lose on model-specific UX, and reasoning toggles are exactly the kind of detail that makes advanced models feel either polished or broken.
- –Jan positions itself as an open-source ChatGPT replacement that can run local models like Qwen alongside cloud providers
- –Jan's own Qwen guidance says thinking mode needs different generation settings, avoids greedy decoding, and uses `/think` and `/no_think` only when thinking is enabled in configuration
- –Jan also shipped a Qwen3 support reliability update, showing the team is actively smoothing compatibility for Alibaba's model family
- –With no answers on the thread yet, this reads more like unresolved setup friction than a fresh product event
