+# Thinking Budget Feature Implementation
+
+## Overview
+
+This document describes the implementation of the **thinking budget** feature for LEANN, which allows users to control the computational effort for reasoning models like GPT-Oss:20b.
+
+## Feature Description
+
+The thinking budget feature provides three levels of computational effort for reasoning models:
+- **`low`**: Fast responses, basic reasoning (default for simple queries)
+- **`medium`**: Balanced speed and reasoning depth
+- **`high`**: Maximum reasoning effort, best for complex analytical questions
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### 1. Command Line Interface
+
+Added `--thinking-budget` parameter to both CLI and RAG examples:
+
+```bash
+# LEANN CLI
+leann ask my-index --llm ollama --model gpt-oss:20b --thinking-budget high
+
+# RAG Examples
+python apps/email_rag.py --llm ollama --llm-model gpt-oss:20b --thinking-budget high
+python apps/document_rag.py --llm openai --llm-model o3 --thinking-budget medium
+```
+
+### 2. LLM Backend Support
+
+#### Ollama Backend (`packages/leann-core/src/leann/chat.py`)
+
+```python
+def ask(self, prompt: str, **kwargs) -> str:
+    # Handle thinking budget for reasoning models
+    options = kwargs.copy()
+    thinking_budget = kwargs.get("thinking_budget")
+    if thinking_budget:
+        options.pop("thinking_budget", None)
+        if thinking_budget in ["low", "medium", "high"]:
+            options["reasoning"] = {"effort": thinking_budget, "exclude": False}
+```
+
+**API Format**: Uses Ollama's `reasoning` parameter with `effort` and `exclude` fields.
+
+#### OpenAI Backend (`packages/leann-core/src/leann/chat.py`)
+
+```python
+def ask(self, prompt: str, **kwargs) -> str:
+    # Handle thinking budget for reasoning models
+    thinking_budget = kwargs.get("thinking_budget")
+    if thinking_budget and thinking_budget in ["low", "medium", "high"]:
+        # Check if this is an o-series model
+        o_series_models = ["o3", "o3-mini", "o4-mini", "o1", "o3-pro", "o3-deep-research"]
+        if any(model in self.model for model in o_series_models):
+            params["reasoning_effort"] = thinking_budget
+```
+
+**API Format**: Uses OpenAI's `reasoning_effort` parameter for o-series models.
+
+### 3. Parameter Propagation
+
+The thinking budget parameter is properly propagated through the LEANN architecture:
+
+1. **CLI** (`packages/leann-core/src/leann/cli.py`): Captures `--thinking-budget` argument
+2. **Base RAG** (`apps/base_rag_example.py`): Adds parameter to argument parser
+3. **LeannChat** (`packages/leann-core/src/leann/api.py`): Passes `llm_kwargs` to LLM
+4. **LLM Interface**: Handles the parameter in backend-specific implementations
+
+## Files Modified

+# LEANN Configuration Guide
+
+This guide helps you optimize LEANN for different use cases and understand the trade-offs between various configuration options.
+
+## Getting Started: Simple is Better
+
+When first trying LEANN, start with a small dataset to quickly validate your approach:
+
+**For document RAG**: The default `data/` directory works perfectly - includes 2 AI research papers, Pride and Prejudice literature, and a technical report
+```bash
+python -m apps.document_rag --query "What techniques does LEANN use?"
+```
+
+**For other data sources**: Limit the dataset size for quick testing
+```bash
+# WeChat: Test with recent messages only
+python -m apps.wechat_rag --max-items 100 --query "What did we discuss about the project timeline?"
+
+# Browser history: Last few days
+python -m apps.browser_rag --max-items 500 --query "Find documentation about vector databases"
+
+# Email: Recent inbox
+python -m apps.email_rag --max-items 200 --query "Who sent updates about the deployment status?"
+```
+
+Once validated, scale up gradually:
+- 100 documents → 1,000 → 10,000 → full dataset (`--max-items -1`)
+- This helps identify issues early before committing to long processing times
+
+## Embedding Model Selection: Understanding the Trade-offs
+
+Based on our experience developing LEANN, embedding models fall into three categories:
+
+### Small Models (< 100M parameters)
+**Example**: `sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2` (22M params)
+- **Pros**: Lightweight, fast for both indexing and inference
+- **Cons**: Lower semantic understanding, may miss nuanced relationships
+- **Use when**: Speed is critical, handling simple queries, interactive mode, or just experimenting with LEANN. If time is not a constraint, consider using a larger/better embedding model
+
+### Medium Models (100M-500M parameters)
+**Example**: `facebook/contriever` (110M params), `BAAI/bge-base-en-v1.5` (110M params)
+- **Pros**: Balanced performance, good multilingual support, reasonable speed
+- **Cons**: Requires more compute than small models
+- **Use when**: Need quality results without extreme compute requirements, general-purpose RAG applications
+
+### Large Models (500M+ parameters)
+**Example**: `Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B` (600M params), `intfloat/multilingual-e5-large` (560M params)
+- **Pros**: Best semantic understanding, captures complex relationships, excellent multilingual support. **Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B achieves nearly OpenAI API performance!**
+- **Cons**: Slower inference, longer index build times
+- **Use when**: Quality is paramount and you have sufficient compute resources. **Highly recommended** for production use
+
+### Quick Start: Cloud and Local Embedding Options
+
+**OpenAI Embeddings (Fastest Setup)**
+For immediate testing without local model downloads:
+```bash
+# Set OpenAI embeddings (requires OPENAI_API_KEY)
+--embedding-mode openai --embedding-model text-embedding-3-small
+```
+
+**Ollama Embeddings (Privacy-Focused)**
+For local embeddings with complete privacy:
+```bash
+# First, pull an embedding model
+ollama pull nomic-embed-text
+
+# Use Ollama embeddings
+--embedding-mode ollama --embedding-model nomic-embed-text
+```
+
+<details>
+<summary><strong>Cloud vs Local Trade-offs</strong></summary>
+
+**OpenAI Embeddings** (`text-embedding-3-small/large`)
+- **Pros**: No local compute needed, consistently fast, high quality
+- **Cons**: Requires API key, costs money, data leaves your system, [known limitations with certain languages](https://yichuan-w.github.io/blog/lessons_learned_in_dev_leann/)
+- **When to use**: Prototyping, non-sensitive data, need immediate results
+
+**Local Embeddings**
+- **Pros**: Complete privacy, no ongoing costs, full control, can sometimes outperform OpenAI embeddings
+- **Cons**: Slower than cloud APIs, requires local compute resources
+- **When to use**: Production systems, sensitive data, cost-sensitive applications
+
+</details>
+
+## Index Selection: Matching Your Scale
+
+### HNSW (Hierarchical Navigable Small World)
+**Best for**: Small to medium datasets (< 10M vectors) - **Default and recommended for extreme low storage**
+- Full recomputation required
+- High memory usage during build phase
+- Excellent recall (95%+)
+
+```bash
+# Optimal for most use cases
+--backend-name hnsw --graph-degree 32 --build-complexity 64
+```
+
+### DiskANN
+**Best for**: Performance-critical applications and large datasets - **Production-ready with automatic graph partitioning**
+
+**How it works:**
+- **Product Quantization (PQ) + Real-time Reranking**: Uses compressed PQ codes for fast graph traversal, then recomputes exact embeddings for final candidates
+- **Automatic Graph Partitioning**: When `is_recompute=True`, automatically partitions large indices and safely removes redundant files to save storage
+- **Superior Speed-Accuracy Trade-off**: Faster search than HNSW while maintaining high accuracy
+
+**Trade-offs compared to HNSW:**
+- ✅ **Faster search latency** (typically 2-8x speedup)
+- ✅ **Better scaling** for large datasets
+- ✅ **Smart storage management** with automatic partitioning
+- ✅ **Better graph locality** with `--ldg-times` parameter for SSD optimization
+- ⚠️ **Slightly larger index size** due to PQ tables and graph metadata
+
+```bash
+# Recommended for most use cases
+--backend-name diskann --graph-degree 32 --build-complexity 64
+
+# For large-scale deployments
+--backend-name diskann --graph-degree 64 --build-complexity 128
+```
+
+**Performance Benchmark**: Run `python benchmarks/diskann_vs_hnsw_speed_comparison.py` to compare DiskANN and HNSW on your system.
+
+## LLM Selection: Engine and Model Comparison
+
+### LLM Engines
+
+**OpenAI** (`--llm openai`)
+- **Pros**: Best quality, consistent performance, no local resources needed
+- **Cons**: Costs money ($0.15-2.5 per million tokens), requires internet, data privacy concerns
+- **Models**: `gpt-4o-mini` (fast, cheap), `gpt-4o` (best quality), `o3` (reasoning), `o3-mini` (reasoning, cheaper)
+- **Thinking Budget**: Use `--thinking-budget low/medium/high` for o-series reasoning models (o3, o3-mini, o4-mini)
+- **Note**: Our current default, but we recommend switching to Ollama for most use cases
+
+**Ollama** (`--llm ollama`)
+- **Pros**: Fully local, free, privacy-preserving, good model variety
+- **Cons**: Requires local GPU/CPU resources, slower than cloud APIs, need to install extra [ollama app](https://github.com/ollama/ollama?tab=readme-ov-file#ollama) and pre-download models by `ollama pull`
+- **Models**: `qwen3:0.6b` (ultra-fast), `qwen3:1.7b` (balanced), `qwen3:4b` (good quality), `qwen3:7b` (high quality), `deepseek-r1:1.5b` (reasoning)
+- **Thinking Budget**: Use `--thinking-budget low/medium/high` for reasoning models like GPT-Oss:20b
+
+**HuggingFace** (`--llm hf`)
+- **Pros**: Free tier available, huge model selection, direct model loading (vs Ollama's server-based approach)
+- **Cons**: More complex initial setup
+- **Models**: `Qwen/Qwen3-1.7B-FP8`
+
+## Parameter Tuning Guide
+
+### Search Complexity Parameters
+
+**`--build-complexity`** (index building)
+- Controls thoroughness during index construction
+- Higher = better recall but slower build
+- Recommendations:
+  - 32: Quick prototyping
+  - 64: Balanced (default)
+  - 128: Production systems
+  - 256: Maximum quality
+
+**`--search-complexity`** (query time)
+- Controls search thoroughness
+- Higher = better results but slower
+- Recommendations:
+  - 16: Fast/Interactive search
+  - 32: High quality with diversity
+  - 64+: Maximum accuracy
+
+### Top-K Selection
+
+**`--top-k`** (number of retrieved chunks)
+- More chunks = better context but slower LLM processing
+- Should be always smaller than `--search-complexity`
+- Guidelines:
+  - 10-20: General questions (default: 20)
+  - 30+: Complex multi-hop reasoning requiring comprehensive context
+
+**Trade-off formula**:
+- Retrieval time ∝ log(n) × search_complexity
+- LLM processing time ∝ top_k × chunk_size
+- Total context = top_k × chunk_size tokens
+
+### Thinking Budget for Reasoning Models
+
+**`--thinking-budget`** (reasoning effort level)
+- Controls the computational effort for reasoning models
+- Options: `low`, `medium`, `high`
+- Guidelines:
+  - `low`: Fast responses, basic reasoning (default for simple queries)
+  - `medium`: Balanced speed and reasoning depth
+  - `high`: Maximum reasoning effort, best for complex analytical questions
+- **Supported Models**:
+  - **Ollama**: `gpt-oss:20b`, `gpt-oss:120b`
+  - **OpenAI**: `o3`, `o3-mini`, `o4-mini`, `o1` (o-series reasoning models)
+- **Note**: Models without reasoning support will show a warning and proceed without reasoning parameters
+- **Example**: `--thinking-budget high` for complex analytical questions
+
+**📖 For detailed usage examples and implementation details, check out [Thinking Budget Documentation](THINKING_BUDGET_FEATURE.md)**
+
+**💡 Quick Examples:**
+```bash
+# OpenAI o-series reasoning model
+python apps/document_rag.py --query "What are the main techniques LEANN explores?" \
+  --index-dir hnswbuild --backend hnsw \
+  --llm openai --llm-model o3 --thinking-budget medium
+
+# Ollama reasoning model
+python apps/document_rag.py --query "What are the main techniques LEANN explores?" \
+  --index-dir hnswbuild --backend hnsw \
+  --llm ollama --llm-model gpt-oss:20b --thinking-budget high
+```
+
+### Graph Degree (HNSW/DiskANN)
+
+**`--graph-degree`**
+- Number of connections per node in the graph
+- Higher = better recall but more memory
+- HNSW: 16-32 (default: 32)
+- DiskANN: 32-128 (default: 64)
+
+
+## Performance Optimization Checklist
+
+### If Embedding is Too Slow
+
+1. **Switch to smaller model**:
+   ```bash
+   # From large model
+   --embedding-model Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B
+   # To small model
+   --embedding-model sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2
+   ```
+
+2. **Limit dataset size for testing**:
+   ```bash
+   --max-items 1000  # Process first 1k items only
+   ```
+
+3. **Use MLX on Apple Silicon** (optional optimization):
+   ```bash
+   --embedding-mode mlx --embedding-model mlx-community/multilingual-e5-base-mlx
+   ```
+
+### If Search Quality is Poor
+
+1. **Increase retrieval count**:
+   ```bash
+   --top-k 30  # Retrieve more candidates
+   ```
+
+2. **Upgrade embedding model**:
+   ```bash
+   # For English
+   --embedding-model BAAI/bge-base-en-v1.5
+   # For multilingual
+   --embedding-model intfloat/multilingual-e5-large
+   ```
+
+## Understanding the Trade-offs
+
+Every configuration choice involves trade-offs:
+
+| Factor | Small/Fast | Large/Quality |
+|--------|------------|---------------|
+| Embedding Model | `all-MiniLM-L6-v2` | `Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B` |
+| Chunk Size | 512 tokens | 128 tokens |
+| Index Type | HNSW | DiskANN |
+| LLM | `qwen3:1.7b` | `gpt-4o` |
+
+The key is finding the right balance for your specific use case. Start small and simple, measure performance, then scale up only where needed.
+
+## Deep Dive: Critical Configuration Decisions
+
+### When to Disable Recomputation
+
+LEANN's recomputation feature provides exact distance calculations but can be disabled for extreme QPS requirements:
+
+```bash
+--no-recompute  # Disable selective recomputation
+```
+
+**Trade-offs**:
+- **With recomputation** (default): Exact distances, best quality, higher latency, minimal storage (only stores metadata, recomputes embeddings on-demand)
+- **Without recomputation**: Must store full embeddings, significantly higher memory and storage usage (10-100x more), but faster search
+
+**Disable when**:
+- You have abundant storage and memory
+- Need extremely low latency (< 100ms)
+- Running a read-heavy workload where storage cost is acceptable

+# 🔥 LEANN Claude Code Integration
+
+Transform your development workflow with intelligent code assistance using LEANN's semantic search directly in Claude Code.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+**Step 1:** First, complete the basic LEANN installation following the [📦 Installation guide](../../README.md#installation) in the root README:
+
+```bash
+uv venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+uv pip install leann
+```
+
+**Step 2:** Install LEANN globally for MCP integration:
+```bash
+uv tool install leann-core
+```
+
+This makes the `leann` command available system-wide, which `leann_mcp` requires.
+
+## 🚀 Quick Setup
+
+Add the LEANN MCP server to Claude Code:
+
+```bash
+claude mcp add leann-server -- leann_mcp
+```
+
+## 🛠️ Available Tools
+
+Once connected, you'll have access to these powerful semantic search tools in Claude Code:
+
+- **`leann_list`** - List all available indexes across your projects
+- **`leann_search`** - Perform semantic searches across code and documents
+- **`leann_ask`** - Ask natural language questions and get AI-powered answers from your codebase
+
+## 🎯 Quick Start Example
+
+```bash
+# Build an index for your project (change to your actual path)
+leann build my-project --docs ./
+
+# Start Claude Code
+claude
+```
+
+**Try this in Claude Code:**
+```
+Help me understand this codebase. List available indexes and search for authentication patterns.
+```
+
+<p align="center">
+  <img src="../../assets/claude_code_leann.png" alt="LEANN in Claude Code" width="80%">
+</p>
+
+
+## 🧠 How It Works
+
+The integration consists of three key components working seamlessly together:
+
+- **`leann`** - Core CLI tool for indexing and searching (installed globally via `uv tool install`)
+- **`leann_mcp`** - MCP server that wraps `leann` commands for Claude Code integration
+- **Claude Code** - Calls `leann_mcp`, which executes `leann` commands and returns intelligent results
+
+## 📁 File Support
+
+LEANN understands **30+ file types** including:
+- **Programming**: Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Go, Rust, C++, C#
+- **Data**: SQL, YAML, JSON, CSV, XML
+- **Documentation**: Markdown, TXT, PDF
+- **And many more!**
+
+## 💾 Storage & Organization
+
+- **Project indexes**: Stored in `.leann/` directory (just like `.git`)
+- **Global registry**: Project tracking at `~/.leann/projects.json`
+- **Multi-project support**: Switch between different codebases seamlessly
+- **Portable**: Transfer indexes between machines with minimal overhead
+
+## 🗑️ Uninstalling
+
+To remove the LEANN MCP server from Claude Code:
+
+```bash
+claude mcp remove leann-server
+```
+To remove LEANN
+```
+uv pip uninstall leann leann-backend-hnsw leann-core
+```
