From fdf0da62cfb9e6f829387cb1d4684ebb017181d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Belanger Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2026 04:20:34 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Add reasoningEffort/reasoning_effort parameter support Implements support for the `reasoningEffort` parameter for o-series models like o3-mini, as requested in issue #132. Changes: - TypeScript: Added `reasoningEffort` to LLMArgs type - TypeScript: Import and use OpenAI's ReasoningEffort type - Python: Added `reasoning_effort` parameter to LLMClassifier - Both: Parameter flows through to OpenAI API as `reasoning_effort` - Both: Added comprehensive test coverage The parameter accepts values: "minimal", "low", "medium", "high", or null and allows fine-grained control over model reasoning capabilities.
