113113 When the current model supports [effort levels](/docs/en/model-config#adjust-effort-level), the picker also shows an **Effort** row and the model name button shows the selected level. When you pick a level other than `max`, Claude Code saves it for the current model as your default, under [`modelSettings`](/docs/en/settings-reference#modelsettings) in your user settings; `max` applies to the current session only. The model name button and the **Effort** row require Claude Code v2.1.257 or later.

115 When [dynamic workflows](/docs/en/workflows) are enabled and the current model supports it, an **Ultracode** switch appears under the **Effort** row. Turn it on to have Claude plan a [workflow](/docs/en/workflows#let-claude-decide-with-ultracode) for each substantive task in this session, at the selected effort level. While it's on, the model name button shows `· Ultracode` after the level. The switch requires Claude Code v2.1.284 or later.
