alt Hacker NewsMy comparison of its reasoning efforts[0] seems to show that it only really supports 3 modes: none, low, xhigh.
Low and medium are basically the same.
Also, the electricity it costs to run on a 3090 is not negligible, so that it's cheaper to use Luna high via API than Qwen 3.8 27b locally, hardware costs excluding.

Btw, unrelated, but this is the kind of Vibe Coded AI slop design I see a lot these days. Every single thing on this page has a different color, formatting, and it's just painful to look at.

$0.286/kWh is a ridiculous amount of money to pay for power. That's more than double the regional residental average here!
If I ever found myself in this situation I would much rather just rent cards from hotasile and run open models instead of giving OAI money and playing reset bingo
