Editors looked broken. Ollama was fine.
What happened
With thinking on, Gemma (and later Qwen) put answers in reasoning / reasoning_content while OpenAI-compatible content stayed empty.
Fix pattern
- Default coding aliases to think off /
reasoning_effort: none - Optional
*-thinktwins when you actually want the chain - Raise client timeouts so a cold 27B load isn’t misread as a dead connection
Takeaway
If the chat pane is blank, check whether the model is thinking into a field your client doesn’t show.
