Updated the chat message component to surface backend-supplied reasoning via message.thinking while showing the raw assistant content without inline tag scrubbing - Simplified chat streaming to append content chunks directly, stream reasoning into the message model, and persist any partial reasoning when generation stops - Refactored the chat service SSE handler to rely on server-provided reasoning_content, removing legacy <think> parsing logic - Refreshed Storybook data and streaming flows to populate the thinking field explicitly for static and streaming assistant messages * refactor: implement streaming-aware universal reasoning parser Remove the streaming mode limitation from --reasoning-format by refactoring try_parse_reasoning() to handle incremental parsing of <think> tags across all formats. - Rework try_parse_reasoning() to track whitespace, partial tags, and multiple reasoning segments, allowing proper separation of reasoning_content and content in streaming mode - Parse reasoning tags before tool call handling in content-only and Llama 3.x formats to ensure inline <think> blocks are captured correctly - Change default reasoning_format from 'auto' to 'deepseek' for consistent behavior - Add 'deepseek-legacy' option to preserve old inline behavior when needed - Update CLI help and documentation to reflect streaming support - Add parser tests for inline <think>...</think> segments The parser now continues processing content after </think> closes instead of stopping, enabling proper message.reasoning_content and message.content separation in both streaming and non-streaming modes. Fixes the issue where streaming responses would dump everything (including post-thinking content) into reasoning_content while leaving content empty. * refactor: address review feedback from allozaur - Passed the assistant message content directly to ChatMessageAssistant to drop the redundant derived state in the chat message component - Simplified chat streaming updates by removing unused partial-thinking handling and persisting partial responses straight from currentResponse - Refreshed the ChatMessage stories to cover standard and reasoning scenarios without the old THINK-tag parsing examples Co-authored-by: Aleksander Grygier <aleksander.grygier@gmail.com> * refactor: restore forced reasoning prefix to pass test-chat ([chat] All tests passed) - store the exact sequence seen on input when 'thinking_forced_open' enforces a reasoning block - inject this prefix before the first accumulated segment in 'reasoning_content', then clear it to avoid duplication -

Resources
There is no single point of reference describing all new ik_llama.cpp features. Pull requests often contain detailed information, so browsing the PRs is often the best way to learn about new features and how to use them. In addition
- The Wiki page has performance comparisons to mainline
llama.cpp - This guide is a good place to start if you came here because of DeepSeek models
- This discussion is about running DeepSeek-V3/R1 on a 16 x 3090 setup
- This discussion describes the new quantization types available in
ik_llama.cpp
Testing
Function Calls Tests
To run the function calls test suite:
cd build
cmake --build . --target test-function-calls
./bin/test-function-calls
The test suite covers parser functionality, streaming, error handling, content cleaning, and server integration. All tests should pass to ensure production readiness.
