I agree with this but I take it father. I think every option in the left sidebar of chat apps (Codex, Claude, Cursor…) will disappear.
Work/ChatGPT, Astra/Sol/local models - all better for a small model to route/decide locally than you.
I'm getting increasingly tired of thinking about reasoning effort levels.
In the near future, models will reason as much or as little as needed, and we'll feel silly for exposing 5+ options in a dropdown.
