Effort is an amplifier, while model tier is the capability ceiling; adding thinking budget to a smaller model cannot bridge the capability gap inherent to the model itself.

UnverifiedIn multi-step agent tasks, typically only a small number of steps require top-tier model reasoning; the majority of intermediate steps are glue logic, and using high-end models uniformly across all steps wastes budget.76% similarUnverified基于任务难度的单位经济学原则：任务难度决定所需模型能力，无需默认追求最强模型，对无状态快速一次性请求Sol性价比更优76% similarUnverified轻量模型在高难度任务上的失败往往是结构性的，切换模型比优化提示词更务实76% similarUnverifiedThe effort parameter controls how much the model thinks rather than how much it says; reducing effort does not reliably shorten visible responses, and controlling response length requires explicit prompting.76% similarUnverifiedThe capability ceiling effect is a common pitfall in large model evaluation: task difficulty that is too low or too high causes all models to perform similarly, making it impossible to differentiate their relative strengths and weaknesses.75% similar
