Pretty simple to plug-and-play – nice combo of techniques (react / codeact / dynamic few-shot) integrated with search / calculator tools. I guess that’s all you need to beat SOTA billion dollar search companies :) Probably would be super interesting / useful to use with multi-agent workflows too.
I found this to be even better than the pro model but if I'm forced to use the pro version how much better is that? or maybe I'll just use the sonar without reasoning

Tried it out this morning and integrated it in my wrapper, and have to say it's pretty good! Also does the 'thinking' step just like the regular Deepseek, definitely seems to give pretty thoughtful answers.
What are you going to build with this?

Hi everyone,
I’ve been using the `sonar-reasoning-pro` model via API recently, but I noticed that the `<think>` blocks (the chain-of-thought/reasoning process) seem to have disappeared from the response `content`.
Previously, I could see the model's internal reasoning, but now I only get the final output. Has anyone else noticed this change?
* Is there a specific parameter I need to toggle now to keep seeing the thoughts?
* Or is this a known bug/update?
Would appreciate any insights. Thanks!
