Tip: /effort Slider — Tune Opus 4.7 Reasoning Depth Per-Session to Control Speed vs. Cost

Releasebot·medium signal

The new /effort command opens an interactive slider with four levels: low, medium, high, and xhigh. On Opus 4.7, default is xhigh. The key insight: xhigh at 100K thinking tokens already beats Opus 4.6's max at 200K tokens — you get better results with half the thinking budget. Drop to 'high' for routine tasks to save tokens; reserve 'xhigh' for complex multi-file changes. Setting persists across sessions.
