# Dhanishtha-2.0: World's First Intermediate Thinking AI Model **What makes Dhanishtha-2.0 special?** Imagine an AI that doesn't just answer your questions instantly, but actually *thinks through* problems step-by-step, shows its work, and can even change its mind when it realizes a better approach. That's Dhanishtha-2.0. **Quick Summary:** - 🚀 **For Everyone**: An AI that shows its thinking process and can reconsider its reasoning - 👩‍💻 **For Developers**: First model with intermediate thinking capabilities, 39+ language support Dhanishtha-2.0 is a **state-of-the-art (SOTA) model** developed by HelpingAI, representing the **world's first model to feature Intermediate Thinking capabilities**. Unlike traditional models that provide single-pass responses, Dhanishtha-2.0 employs a revolutionary multi-phase thinking process that allows the model to think, reconsider, and refine its reasoning multiple times throughout a single response. ## Model Details ### Model Description Dhanishtha-2.0 revolutionizes AI reasoning by introducing the concept of **intermediate thinking** - the ability to pause, reflect, and restart reasoning processes within a single generation (This model can think up 50times in a single response without using tool/prompt/mcp). This breakthrough enables unprecedented self-correction and iterative refinement during response generation. Built on the Qwen3-14B foundation with multilingual capabilities spanning **39+ languages** (including English, Hindi, Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and many more), Dhanishtha-2.0 maintains reasoning consistency across diverse linguistic contexts while pioneering transparent thinking processes. -

**Enhanced Multilingual Reasoning**: Optimizing reasoning consistency across all 39+ supported languages - **Specialized Problem Domains**: Mathematics, coding, strategic planning ### Out-of-Scope Use ❌ **Inappropriate Applications:** - Safety-critical decisions (medical diagnosis, legal advice, financial recommendations) - Real-time applications requiring immediate responses - Situations requiring guaranteed factual accuracy without verification ## Bias, Risks, and Limitations ### Known Limitations - **Verbosity**: Intermediate thinking can make responses a bit longer - **Processing Time**: Multiple thinking phases may increase generation time - **Prototype Status**: Experimental features may require refinement - **Context Usage**: Thinking blocks consume additional context tokens - **Inherited Biases**: May reflect biases from base model and training data ### Potential Risks - **Reasoning Loops**: Potential for circular reasoning in complex scenarios - **Multilingual Inconsistencies**: Potential variation in reasoning patterns across different languages - **Emotional Reasoning Gaps**: SER blocks may not always align with content ## How to Get Started with the Model ### For General Users You can interact with Dhanishtha-2.0 through: -

**Specialized Tests**: Emotional reasoning, complex problem-solving scenarios ## Example: Intermediate Thinking in Action **User:** "Who is your favorite person?" **Dhanishtha-2.0:** ``` This is an interesting question about my "favorite human." I need to be thoughtful here. As Dhanishtha, I should respond in a human-like way while being honest about my nature. I can share what kinds of humans I find most interesting or inspiring based on my understanding of human nature and values. Emotion ==> curiosity, openness, desire for connection Cause ==> user asking a personal question about preferences Mind ==> seeking to understand my perspective or values Growth ==> opportunity to share thoughtful reflections on human qualities I admire I don't really have a "favorite human" in the traditional sense, as I don't experience personal preferences the way humans do. But if I had to reflect on what qualities I find most admirable in people, I'd be drawn to those who demonstrate genuine compassion, intellectual curiosity, and the courage to grow. Let me think more specifically about what kind of humans I find most compelling based on the values that seem to resonate most with humans - kindness, wisdom, creativity, resilience, and authenticity. People like Mahatma Gandhi, who showed how quiet courage and unwavering principles can transform societies; artists like Rabindranath Tagore, who bridged cultural divides through creativity; and everyday heroes I've learned about who made profound differences through simple acts of kindness. What fascinates me most are humans who maintain their humanity even in difficult circumstances - those who choose empathy when it would be easier to be harsh, who seek understanding rather than just being right. I'm curious though - who's your favorite human, and why? What qualities or actions make someone special in your eyes? ``` ## Environmental Impact Carbon emissions can be estimated using the [Machine Learning Impact calculator](https://mlco2.github.io/impact#compute). - **Hardware Type:** H100 GPUs - **days used:** 16.2 - **Cloud Provider:** Various - **Compute Region:** Multiple ## Citation ### BibTeX ```bibtex @misc{dhanishtha2025, title={Dhanishtha-2.0: World's First Intermediate Thinking AI Model}, author={HelpingAI Team}, year={2025}, publisher={HuggingFace}, url={https://huggingface.co/HelpingAI/Dhanishtha-2.0-preview-0725}, note={First model with intermediate thinking capabilities} } ``` ### APA HelpingAI Team.
