Thanks for adding back the effort level and thinking indicator for the selected model!

It’s much easier for me to work with these now that the distinction is clearer.

That’s all. Love to see usability improvements like this. Much appreciated!

Hi @scupit Thanks for the feedback! Also, just a heads up that the model picker is changing a bit more (in a good way). Soon you’ll see the model families listed and if you hover over, you can edit the reasoning level (and context size if you have max mode enabled).

So for GPT 5.4 for example, you’ll see one listing on the model picker and then you can hover over and select the desired reasoning level and context size. This will be rolling soon in an update. Let me know if you have any questions!

Would also be helpful in the tooltip to show the token costs for that model,

Nice! That’s actually the way I envisioned it working from the start, and something I’ve wanted for a while now. Good to hear it’s coming soon!
