BUG: Autodetect title does not handle models with `<think>` like qwen3
Before submitting your bug report
- [x] I believe this is a bug. I'll try to join the Continue Discord for questions
- [x] I'm not able to find an open issue that reports the same bug
- [x] I've seen the troubleshooting guide on the Continue Docs
Relevant environment info
- OS: macOS
- Continue version: pre-release
- IDE version: 1.100.1
- Model: qwen3:30b
Description
All titles in the chat history show up as:
<think>Okay, the user wants ...
I suppose the auto title code hasn't been updated to handle models that begin with a <think> block? So either split out or append /no_think to the prompt.
To reproduce
- Use a think-based model like qwen3.
- Start a chat.
- Check the history and see the unhelpful title.

@aarononeal Thanks for sharing this. I think it would make for a great good-first-issue, so marked as that.
The change that would need to happen is in https://github.com/continuedev/continue/blob/1e49e616c72661cdb0c67d2774b813b53b50f703/core/util/chatDescriber.ts, where we generate the titles. Just need to parse out the thinking, or disable thinking through request options
I've looked into this, but I don't have any time for dev setup. I hope this helps anyone who starts working on this.
ChatDescriber.prompt + message.replace(/^<think>.*?<\/think>/, "");
