Reasoning effort configuration
Berman cites a Luna discount and shows the available reasoning-effort settings. He enables Max and offers his opinion of Ultra.
I want to use Luna more and say it is 80% off in this August 2026 video. The clip does not explain the promotion’s scope or duration, so the discount should be treated as a time-specific claim rather than a current price. My focus is the Max reasoning-effort option, which I say is not enabled by default in the setup shown.
In the demonstrated settings interface, I open Configuration and find “Available reasoning efforts.” I enable Max so it can appear in model controls. The menu says availability varies by model; I also mention Terra and Sol, but supported choices can change by version and model.
I recommend turning Ultra off because I believe it uses too many tokens without enough benefit in my experience. That is my assessment, and this short clip provides no controlled comparison or evidence that Ultra is generally broken. After changing the settings, I select Luna and show that Max is available.
Selecting Luna
He selects Luna after exposing Max. The clip does not independently validate the discount or compare reasoning settings.
