Deployment-time scalar effort control
A scalar provides flexible control of reasoning strength, with evidence describing values from 1 to 100 and preset tiers mapped onto the scale.
Also called Scalar effort control of response length, scalar efforts, Preset effort levels (low, high, max), three preset effort levels.

How sources treat it
One count per evidence span, weakest treatment to strongest.

Evidence
5 spans quoted from the sources, strongest treatment first.
the public API exposes three preset reasoning-effort tiers—max, high, and low—which map directly onto this scalar interface
we prepend the following instruction to the system prompt: Reasoning Effort: {effort} (range 1–100; higher values request more thorough reasoning)
At deployment time, the scalar 𝑏 provides a flexible control interface over the model’s reasoning strength.
the use of scalar efforts achieves flexible, interpolated control of response length within a specific range.
we expose three preset effort levels that map onto this scale: low, high, and max correspond to effort values of 50, 75, and 100, respectively.
