AI model pickers now bundle context length, reasoning level and speed toggles

- The post says choosing an AI model is no longer just picking a name; each one now comes with a stack of settings.
- The attached screenshot shows a model picker with options such as GPT-5.6, Cursor Grok 4.5, Composer 2.5, Opus 4.8, Fable 5, and Sonnet 5.
- It also exposes controls for context size (272K or 1M) and reasoning level from None to Max, plus a Fast toggle.
- The core complaint is that the space has become too complicated for users to know the best setup for each task.
