title: "DefaultEffort"
---

Default reasoning effort when the client enables reasoning without specifying effort. Maps to `reasoning.effort` in chat requests. When `"none"`, prefer omitting effort unless the user explicitly disables reasoning.

## Example Usage

```python
from openrouter.components import DefaultEffort

# Open enum: unrecognized values are captured as UnrecognizedStr
value: DefaultEffort = "max"
```


## Values

This is an open enum. Unrecognized values will not fail type checks.

- `"max"`
- `"xhigh"`
- `"high"`
- `"medium"`
- `"low"`
- `"minimal"`
- `"none"`
