I get the love letter to text thing, but this is almost too bare. Copy-pasting every URL makes it feel like an unfinished apartment.

That makes sense. Maybe the existing VS Code integration is the place to solve part of this for coding workflows: formatted output, artifacts, and search UI all seem useful next to the editor. The Claude.ai conversation corpus/search seems like the part that may need deeper account integration.

My understanding is that it’s mostly an inference-time knob, not different weights.

OpenAI describes reasoning.effort as controlling how many reasoning tokens get used before the answer. Anthropic’s docs are even more explicit that effort trades off thoroughness vs token efficiency “with a single model”.

So I wouldn’t read the Claude Code cache warning as proof that a different model is being used. It may just mean the thinking/effort setting is part of the cache key.

This matches my experience. I am building a small tool on top of DeepSeek, and the low model cost changes the pace a lot. It makes it easier to keep experimenting without turning every iteration into a budget decision.
