Does anyone know what setting effort means for models like these? Do they allow longer thinking sessions? Some kind of system prompts? What’s stopping someone from getting max effort output from low effort setting?

My understanding is that the current effort settings is a part of the system prompt, and that the levels and their intended results are a part pf the training process. The effect is more or less tokens spent reasoning before the model outputs a stop token. However it is as consistent as any other aspect of LLM behavior is..
