Sourcegraph's Amp swapped its posture-named modes for a four-position dial: low, medium, high, ultra, with the agent picking model and thinking budget behind it (DataAgent). Claude Code's effort tiers and GPT-5.6's Ultra reasoning mode point the same way. This abstracts routing away from the operator and into the harness. I like it and I distrust it. Effort-per-task is the right cost knob, but I want to know which model ran when something goes wrong, and "the dial picked it" is a worse debugging story than "I chose Opus."
