Anthropic has added a beta feature to the Claude API that lets developers change the effort setting partway through a conversation, according to IThome.

Developers set the target level through a new output_config.effort parameter by inserting an empty system message. The change does not alter top-level configuration or prompt caching, and it applies from the next user message with new input without changing content already generated.
