### Claude 3.7 Sonnet Thinking Tokens
-Aider can work with Sonnet 3.7's [new thinking
tokens](https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-3-7-sonnet), but does not ask
Sonnet to use thinking tokens by default.
-
-Enabling thinking currently requires manual configuration. Create an
`.aider.model.settings.yml` in your home dir, project's root, or the current
directory, then add the following to the file. Adjust the `budget_tokens` value
to change the target number of thinking tokens.

+Aider can work with Sonnet 3.7's [new thinking
tokens](https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-3-7-sonnet). You can now enable
and configure thinking tokens more easily using the following methods:
+
+1. **In-Chat Command:** Use the `/think-tokens` command followed by the
desired token budget. For example: `/think-tokens 8k` or `/think-tokens 10000`.
Supported formats include `8096`, `8k`, `10.5k`, and `0.5M`.
+
+2. **Command-Line Argument:** Set the `--thinking-tokens` argument when
starting Aidermacs. For example, you can add this to your
`aidermacs-extra-args`:
+
+ ```emacs-lisp
+ (setq aidermacs-extra-args '("--thinking-tokens" "16k"))
+ ```
+
+These methods provide a more streamlined way to control thinking tokens
without requiring manual configuration of `.aider.model.settings.yml` files.
-More streamlined support will be coming soon.
+*Note: If you are using an `.aider.conf.yml` file, you can also set the
`thinking_tokens` option there.*
