Does deleting the "Thinking" block in Google AI Studio affect the next response?

Hi everyone,

I was reading the official Gemini documentation and came across this statement regarding the stateless nature of the API:

“The Gemini API is stateless, so the model treats every API request independently and doesn’t have access to thought context from previous turns in multi-turn interactions.”

I have a practical question about how this translates to Google AI Studio.

If I am in a multi-turn chat in Google AI Studio and I manually delete/remove the model’s “Thinking” process (thought context) from a previous turn, does this mean it will have absolutely no impact on the model’s next response?

Based on the documentation, I assume that since the model doesn’t have access to previous thought contexts anyway, removing it from the AI Studio interface shouldn’t affect the flow or quality of the ongoing conversation.

Could someone from the team or community clarify if my understanding is correct?

Thanks in advance!

Hi. In my experience, removing old thought blocks DOES affect the response.

Sometimes the answers get better, sometimes they get worse, but they definitely change
