`.aider.conf.yml` files.
**Important: When using a config file, all other Aidermacs configuration
variables supplying an argument option (e.g., `aidermacs-default-model`,
`aidermacs-architect-model`, `aidermacs-use-architect-mode`) are IGNORED.**
Aider will *only* use the settings specified in your `.aider.conf.yml` file. Do
not attempt to combine these Emacs settings with a config file, as the results
will be unpredictable.
+### Claude 3.7 Sonnet Thinking Tokens
+
+Aider can work with Sonnet 3.7's new thinking tokens, but does not ask Sonnet
to use thinking tokens by default.
+
+Enabling thinking currently requires manual configuration. You need to add the
following to your `.aider.model.settings.yml` model settings file.
+
+Adjust the `budget_tokens` value to change the target number of thinking
tokens.

#### Notes
* **Precedence:** Settings in `.aider.conf.yml` *always* take precedence
when a config file is explicitly specified.
