Display DeepSeek-R1 <think> tags in "Thinking..." blocks for Azure, Fireworks, and OpenRouter
Currently, DeepSeek-R1's reasoning process is handled differently depending on the API provider:
Azure Foundry & Fireworks API:
Model responses include tags in the main response
Need to parse and separate these tags into a dedicated 'Thinking…' block
OpenRouter:
tags are not included in responses
Need an alternative method to capture and display reasoning tokens in the 'Thinking…' block
DeekSeek Direct API:
- Although TypingMind already supports "Thinking…" blocks via the Deepseek API (see release notes @ https://docs.typingmind.com/chat-models-settings/use-with-deepseek-ai), many users hesitate to route their data through their servers because of privacy and security concerns.
Feature request
Implement proper parsing and display of DeepSeek-R1's reasoning process in a dedicated 'Thinking…' block, with provider-specific handling:
Parse tags from Azure Foundry and Fireworks API responses
Develop alternative method to capture reasoning from OpenRouter responses
This would create a consistent user experience for viewing model reasoning across all providers, similar to how DeepSeek's reasoning is displayed.
Suggested Implementation Priority:
Azure Foundry: Highest priority due to free API access, which would encourage more users to try DeepSeek-R1 through TypingMind
Fireworks API: Second priority due to superior token throughput, providing better user experience
OpenRouter: Lower priority due to slower token generation speed and more complex implementation requirements.

Thinking message is available while using deepseek r1 via OpenRouter and Azure AI Foundry, as for fireworks, the provider does not return reasoning_content field within its response so we can not handle for now. Please help create a separate post for fireworks to get notified.

Seems like while it is working for some providers, custom providers (in my use case ollama) still just putting the tags
