Jan users seek Qwen3.5 thinking toggle

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
