and select a voice.
Reasoning Model Support
Sidekick supports a variety of reasoning models, including Alibaba Cloud's QwQ-32B and DeepSeek's DeepSeek-R1.
Click the purple header labeled Reasoning Process
to hide and show the reasoning process.
Code Interpreter
Sidekick uses a code interpreter to boost the mathematical and logical capabilities of models.
Since small models are much better at writing code than doing math, having it write the code, execute it, and present the results dramatically increases trustworthiness of answers.
For example, when asking Sidekick to reverse a string, it runs the JavaScript to reverse the string, then presents the result.
To view the code used, click the three dots next to the copy button, then select Show Code Used
.
Code Interpreter is enabled by default, but can be disabled in Settings
-> Chat
-> Use Code Interpreter
.
