Add a way to easily enable/disable thinking mode for reasoning models

Open MaxLSB opened this issue 7 months ago • 2 comments

Issue encountered

When evaluating reasoning capable models (e.g., Qwen3, etc) with lighteval, there's currently no way to toggle enable_thinking directly via CLI or config.

Is there a way to work around this or does it require a PR ?

Solution/Feature

Maybe add a flag or config option to enable/disable thinking mode (i.e., pass enable_thinking=False to the tokenizer) for models that support it.

Hi team, if this has been implemented please release this or suggest the workaround for this. Such features are expected in such a popular library like lighteval. Kindly let us know how to disable thinking in qwen 3 in lighteval. Thank you.
