Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 68663, member: 636"] For a task as straightforward as rewriting a 250-word text, the best approach for speed and accuracy is not to set a "thinking budget," but to [B]disable the "Thinking Mode" entirely.[/B] Here’s a breakdown of why and what to do. [HEADING=2]The best solution: Disable "thinking mode"[/HEADING] Qwen's "Thinking Mode" is designed for complex, multi-step reasoning tasks like solving math problems, writing code, or analyzing complex logic. It intentionally slows down to "think" through the problem step-by-step. Your task—rewriting text—is creative or stylistic, not a complex reasoning one. Forcing the model to "think" about it will only add unnecessary time and computational overhead. [B]To get the fastest results: [/B]When making your API call or setting up the model, you should explicitly select the [B]"Non-Thinking Mode."[/B] This is often done by setting a parameter like enable_thinking=False. This will instruct the model to provide a direct, fast response, which is exactly what you want for rewriting. [HEADING=2]If you must set a "thinking budget"[/HEADING] If your setup or the specific Qwen model you are using [I]requires[/I] you to use "Thinking Mode" (e.g., Qwen3-Thinking), you can use a very small budget. [LIST] [*][B]A 250-word text[/B] is roughly [B]300-350 tokens[/B]. [*]The rewriting task itself doesn't require complex reasoning; the model just needs to understand the text and rephrase it. [/LIST] For this scenario, a "thinking budget" of [B]1024 tokens[/B] is more than generous. Setting a budget this low (relative to the 81,920 max) ensures the model doesn't waste time on unnecessary internal monologues and proceeds directly to the task. However, I want to emphasize that [B]disabling "Thinking Mode" is the correct and most efficient solution for your goal.[/B] [/QUOTE]
