Unclear What the model-specific hold value is and which models have one is unclear.
What
Effort is how much thinking the model puts into a reply. When working out the effort level, Claude Code can now leave it unset for a model that has a model-specific hold value, instead of taking it from your settings. Taking the default from the settings table directly now also depends on a condition.
Why
The effort shown or applied for some models may differ from what your settings say.
