A user on Reddit has presented evidence suggesting that Anthropic has reduced the 'effort' levels for its Claude AI models, specifically impacting Claude Code. The user claims that recent versions of Claude Code are assigning lower numerical values to effort settings like 'high' and 'xhigh' compared to older versions. This reduction, which is not reflected in the changelogs, allegedly means users are receiving a significantly diminished level of processing or reasoning from the AI, even when selecting higher effort settings.
