642642To set environment variables for local sessions and dev servers on any platform, open the environment dropdown in the prompt box, hover over **Local**, and click the gear icon to open the local environment editor. Variables you save here are stored encrypted on your machine and apply to every local session and preview server you start. You can also add variables to the `env` key in your `~/.claude/settings.json` file, though these reach Claude sessions only and not dev servers. See [environment variables](/docs/en/env-vars) for the full list of supported variables.

644[Extended thinking](/docs/en/model-config#extended-thinking) is enabled by default, which improves performance on complex reasoning tasks but uses additional tokens. On the Anthropic API, set `MAX_THINKING_TOKENS` to `0` in the local environment editor to turn thinking off; this has no effect on Fable models, which always use extended thinking. With thinking turned off on the Anthropic API, Claude Code sends effort `high` instead of a higher level to models it knows [don't accept that combination](/docs/en/errors#effort-isnt-available-with-thinking-turned-off), such as Opus 5.

646646On models with [adaptive reasoning](/docs/en/model-config#adjust-effort-level), `MAX_THINKING_TOKENS` values other than `0` are ignored because adaptive reasoning controls thinking depth instead. On Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6, set `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_ADAPTIVE_THINKING` to `1` to use a fixed thinking budget; Fable models, Sonnet 5, and Opus 4.7 and later always use adaptive reasoning and have no fixed-budget mode.
