How can I train QWEN3's reasoning and unreasoning integrated data?

[Foreist]

I need to train qwen3's reasoning data after and unreasoning data after <\think>, so how can I organize and train the dataset with axolotl?

It looks like you can set "reasoning_content" to define the reasoning data inside <think> tag, and then use "content" for the unreasoning data

Also, if you have a dataset that already has reasoning in think tags, you can add split_thinking: true to the yaml to automatically split the data into the reasoning_content field for you.
