Aren't they still locking reasoning to "max" pending adjustments to support shorter reasoning levels.


Found it!

> At launch, Kimi K3 will use max thinking effort by default, with low- and high-effort modes to be introduced in subsequent updates https://www.kimi.com/blog/kimi-k3


It let's me choose different thinking levels in Kimi Code. Not sure if it actually works, yet, but it says "Thinking set to high." when I change it from max.


Why would they do that? Sounds terrible
