Tutorial - How to Toggle On/OFf the Thinking Mode Directly in LM Studio for Any Thinking Model
LM Studio is an exceptional tool for running local LLMs, but it has a specific quirk: the "Thinking" (reasoning) toggle often only appears for models downloaded directly through the LM Studio interface. If you use external GGUFs from providers like Unsloth or Bartowski, this capability is frequently hidden. Here is how to manually activate the Thinking switch for any reasoning model. ### Method 1: The Native Way (Easiest) The simplest way to ensure the toggle appears is to download models directly within LM Studio. Before downloading, verify that the **Thinking Icon** (the green brain symbol) is present next to the model's name. If this icon is visible, the toggle will work automatically in your chat window. ### Method 2: The Manual Workaround (For External Models) If you prefer to manage

The New York Times drops freelancer whose AI tool copied from an existing book review
AI tools can speed up journalism until they backfire. Two recent cases show what happens when writers don't understand how their AI tools work: copied passages and made-up quotes.

Building behavioural response models of public figures using Brain scan data (Predict their next move using psychological modelling) [P]
Hey guys, I’m the same creator of Netryx V2, the geolocation tool. I’ve been working on something new called COGNEX. It learns how a person reacts to situations, then uses that pattern to simulate how they would respond to something new. You collect real stimulus and response pairs. A stimulus is an event. A response is what they said or did. The key is linking them properly. Then you convert both into structured signals instead of raw text. This is where TRIBE v2 comes in. It was released by Meta about two weeks ago, trained on fMRI scan data, and it can take text, audio, images, and video and estimate how a human brain would process that input. On its own, it reflects an average brain. It does not know the individual. COGNEX uses TRIBE to first map every stimulus and response into this s

trunk/83e9e15421782cf018dae04969a387901ba8ec1b: Fix Python refcounting bugs in profiler_python.cpp (#179285)
Use Py_XNewRef with PyDict_GetItemString to properly convert borrowed refs to strong refs owned by THPObjectPtr (fixes leak on 3.13+ where the Py_INCREF was applied to an already-owned ref from PyMapping_GetItemString, and fixes potential NULL deref on Add Py_NewRef for Py_None passed to PyTuple_SetItem (which steals refs) Wrap PyObject_Call results in THPObjectPtr to avoid leaking return values Use PyObject_CallOneArg instead of PyTuple_Pack + PyObject_Call Clear exception from PySequence_Index when gc callback not found Remove unused thread_state_ member from ThreadLocalResults Authored with Claude.
