# 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 theme={null}
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"`
