Open WebUI adds reasoning-focused features in two new releases OUT TODAY!!! 0.5.5 adds "Thinking" tag support to streamline reasoning model chats (works with R1) . 0.5.6 brings new "reasoning_effort" parameter to control cognitive effort.

These friggin' guys are always dropping great new features just when we need them! They had been quiet for the last few weeks, but not anymore! Per the release notes from Open WebUI releases page today:
https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/releases

Open WebUI 0.5.6:

🧠 Effortful Reasoning Control for OpenAI Models: Introduced the reasoning_effort parameter in chat controls for supported OpenAI models, enabling users to fine-tune how much cognitive effort a model dedicates to its responses, offering greater customization for complex queries and reasoning tasks.

Open WebUI 0.5.5:

🤔 Native 'Think' Tag Support: Introduced the new 'think' tag support that visually displays how long the model is thinking, omitting the reasoning content itself until the next turn. Ideal for creating a more streamlined and focused interaction experience.
