If true, thoughts are returned only if the model supports thought and thoughts are available. """, ) thinking_budget: Optional[int] = Field( default=None, description="""Indicates the thinking budget in tokens. """, ) That thinking_budget thing is documented, but what's the deal with include_thoughts? It sounds like it's an option to have the API return the thought summary... but I can't figure out how to get it t
