#### Multimodal Chat (with Images)
```python
from PIL import Image

# Assuming model and processor for "RekklesAI/LogicFlow-gemma-3-27b-thinking" are already loaded
# Load an image
image = Image.open("path/to/your/image.jpg")

messages = [
    {
        "role": "user", 
        "content": "Analyze this chart and explain the trends you observe. What mathematical relationships can you identify?",
        "images": [image]  # Include image in the message
    }
]

# Use processor for multimodal inputs
model_inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
    messages, 
    add_generation_prompt=True, 
    return_tensors="pt"
)

outputs = model.generate(
    **model_inputs,
    max_new_tokens=1024,
    do_sample=True,
    top_p=0.95,

```
{{- bos_token }}
{%- for message in messages %}
    {%- if message['role'] == 'system' %}
        {{- '<start_of_turn>system\n' + message['content'] + '<end_of_turn>\n' }}
    {%- elif message['role'] == 'user' %}
        {{- '<start_of_turn>user\n' }}
        {%- if 'images' in message and message['images'] %}

    {%- elif message['role'] == 'assistant' %}
        {{- '<start_of_turn>model\n' + message['content'] + '<end_of_turn>\n' }}
    {%- endif %}
{%- endfor %}
{%- if add_generation_prompt and messages[-1]['role'] != 'assistant' %}
    {{- '<start_of_turn>model\n' }}

### Step-by-Step Reasoning Examples

LogicFlow-gemma-3-27b-thinking demonstrates exceptional reasoning capabilities through detailed Chain-of-Thought (CoT) processes. Below are real examples showcasing the model's thinking methodology:

#### Example 1: Mathematical Comparison
**Question**: "9.11 and 9.9, which one is larger?"

![CoT Example 1](CoT_example_2.png)

The model demonstrates sophisticated numerical reasoning by:
- Converting decimals to fractional comparisons (11/100 vs 90/100)
- Using multiple verification methods (number line visualization, real-world applications)
- Calculating the precise difference (0.79) to confirm the result
- Providing comprehensive step-by-step analysis

#### Example 2: Letter Counting Task  
**Question**: "How many r's are in the word strawberry?"

![CoT Example 2](CoT_example_1.png)

The model showcases systematic thinking through:
- Letter-by-letter breakdown of the word "strawberry"
- Multiple verification approaches (position counting, pattern grouping)
- Cross-checking results using different methodologies
- Clear documentation of the reasoning process

These examples demonstrate the model's ability to:
- **🔍 Break down complex problems** into manageable steps
- **✅ Self-verify results** using multiple approaches  
- **📝 Document reasoning chains** for transparency
- **🎯 Maintain accuracy** while showing work

### Activating Chain-of-Thought Reasoning

To get the best reasoning performance from LogicFlow-gemma-3-27b-thinking, use prompts that encourage step-by-step thinking:

```python
# Example prompt for mathematical reasoning
prompt = """Please solve this problem step by step, showing your thinking process:

Question: Compare 9.11 and 9.9. Which number is larger?

Think through this carefully and show your work."""

# Example prompt for logical reasoning  
prompt = """Let me work through this systematically:

Question: How many times does the letter 'r' appear in the word 'strawberry'?

Please show your step-by-step analysis."""

# For complex problems, you can explicitly request thinking
prompt = """Think step by step about this problem:

[Your complex question here]

Show your reasoning process before giving the final answer."""
```

**Pro Tips for Best Results:**
- Use phrases like "step by step", "think through this", "show your work"
- For math problems, request multiple verification methods
- Ask for reasoning before the final answer
- Use temperature settings around 0.7 for optimal reasoning creativity
