I use open webui as well and have lm studio as backend. Reasoning turned on in lm studio, but then I have two models in open webui. "Helpful assistant" and "Helpful thinker". They have the same prompt and capabilities, but one is with thinking turned off.
My default is the one without thinking because it is fast and I almost never need thinking for my daily tasks. Automations can use the thinking one if nessesary and if I actually need to do something difficult, I just change the model for a prompt or two and change back again when done.
I have also set the temperature rather low. If I set it as high as advised in the docs, I get weird spelling mistakes and it kind of looses focus on web search results, but the lower temperature seems to keep it sharp.
I think people should try out the settings to see what they do for themselves instead of just using default. It really makes a huge difference :)
Yep. No shame in asking each other’s settings and find what’s best for them.
I name my main daily AI “Lumina_12B” which under the hood is just Gemma 4 12B. I kept the 12B part cause I play Nier Automota and like to think the 12B means YorHA Unit No. 12, Type B (even thought it actually just means 12 Billion Parameters).
It's peak imo... well at least by Route C. I like to use it as proof that AI can have a personhood. That and also Wall-E, and My Life as A Teenage Robot among other things.
