Description
I've successfully set up agent-ui with my reasoning agent, but I'm not seeing the detailed LLM thought process/thinking steps that are shown in the README examples and documentation.
Current Configuration:
reasoning_agent = Agent(
name="Reasoning Agent",
model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-4o"),
tools=[
ReasoningTools(add_instructions=True),
YFinanceTools(stock_price=True, analyst_recommendations=True, company_info=True, company_news=True),
],
instructions="Use tables to display data.",
markdown=True,
stream=True,
stream_intermediate_steps=True,
)What I'm Seeing:
- ✅ Streaming responses work correctly
- ✅ Tool calls are displayed and executed
- ✅ REASONING section shows steps like "STEP 1 - Analyze Semiconductor Companies"
- ❌ Missing: Detailed thinking process like "PLANNING SEMICONDUCTOR MARKET ANALYSIS" with explanations
Expected Behavior (from README):
The interface should display detailed thinking steps similar to the README screenshot showing:
- "THINK" button/section
- Detailed planning phases like "1. PLANNING SEMICONDUCTOR MARKET ANALYSIS"
- Explanatory text: "The user wants a comprehensive analysis of four major semiconductor companies."
Screenshots:
Current Output: [Image 1 - shows my current interface]
Expected Output: [Image 2 - shows README example with detailed thinking]
Questions:
- Is there an additional configuration needed to enable the detailed thinking display?
- Does this require a specific model or reasoning mode?
- Is the ReasoningTools(add_instructions=True) sufficient, or are there other parameters needed?
- Could this be related to the OpenAI model not providing intermediate reasoning steps?
Additional Context:
- My agent works perfectly for tool calling and final responses
- All streaming functionality is working as expected
- I'm specifically missing the internal thought process visualization shown in Agno examples
Related Configuration:
If there are specific agent-ui frontend settings or backend configurations needed to display thinking steps, please let me know what I might be missing.
