Read the model's thinking word by word
English
Summary
This page shows how to read the model's reasoning and reply one word at a time, in the right sidebar, while the model writes them. It helps when you want to follow along without scrolling a long answer. You need Delorun running with a model provider (Model providers). The tab is off until you turn it on, and it makes no request of its own: it shows what the model already sent to the chat.
Contents
Turn it on
Open Plugins in the sidebar and open Delorun studio. Under Components, find Thinking tab and turn it on; it starts at once, with no restart. Then open the right sidebar and pick Thinking. The tab follows the latest turn of the chat you are in.
The first-run guide's Recommended plugins step offers the same switch.
The band and the page
The band shows one word at a time, in a fixed place, with the letter your eye fixes on marked. A word that ends a sentence or a clause stays a little longer.
Below the band, the page lists every word. What you have read is above the band and what is still to come is below it, each part labelled Reasoning or Reply. Scroll either side to look back or ahead; the band keeps its place.
Choose what and how fast
- Read picks the reasoning, the reply, or both in the order the model wrote them.
- Pace picks how the band moves: Live shows each word as the model writes it, Set rate plays at 100 to 1,000 words a minute, and Model's rate follows how fast the model is writing.
- Delay holds each word back for up to 30 seconds after it was written, so you read a steady stream behind the model. It applies to a set rate and to the model's rate.
- The controls play and pause, step one word back or forward, start again, and skip to the newest word.

Edge cases
- If your system asks for reduced motion, then the tab starts paused.
- If the text is Chinese or Japanese, which has no spaces between words, then the tab still reads it word by word.
- If the chat has no reasoning or reply yet, then the tab says there is nothing to read.
- If you switch to the stock look in Settings, then the tab disappears. Turn the Delorun look back on to see it again.
- If you turn the plugin off, then the tab goes and your chat keeps its history.

What Delorun protects
What Delorun protects and what it does not, in plain language: where its protections apply, the sandbox on each platform, full access, the consents and the prompts setting, the network setting, the web_fetch guard, release checks, and the stated limits, with links to the threat model.
