Developer Calls for Dynamic Presets in Reasoning Models to Switch Inference Effort

intellectronica · x · 2026-07-31

Prominent AI developer intellectronica suggests a feature optimization for NousResearch's Hermes models. He notes that as models improve with inference-time compute, a larger model running at medium reasoning effort is often equivalent to a smaller model running at maximum effort.

However, current configurations lack flexibility, preventing users from easily falling back or switching settings on the fly because reasoning effort remains fixed. He calls for dynamic "presets" that combine provider/model selection with adjustable reasoning effort.
