   This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

   • Web UI does not reflect configured reasoning effort from model options #17588: Same root cause — configured reasoningEffort in model options is not reflected in the UI (web UI variant of this same bug)

   Since you already referenced #17588, it may be worth confirming with maintainers whether this desktop-specific behavior warrants a separate issue or should be tracked under #17588.

   Same issue here. I have submitted a PR to fix this, hope it helps, would love to get this fixed to maintain my flow state.

   • fix(app): persist reasoning effort across new sessions #22823

   Adding more details from my side

   Description

   In web and desktop, if I pick a non-default reasoning effort for a model and then start a new session, the effort resets back to Default.

   TUI persists the selected effort across sessions, so web/desktop behavior is inconsistent.

   Expected:

   • New web/desktop sessions keep the last selected reasoning effort for the current model, like TUI does.

   Actual:

   • New web/desktop sessions reset the reasoning effort to Default.

   Plugins

   None

   OpenCode version

   1.4.6

   Steps to reproduce

   1. Open OpenCode web or desktop.
   2. Select a model that supports reasoning effort / variants.
   3. Change the reasoning effort to a non-default value such as high.
   4. Create a new session.
   5. Observe that the reasoning effort resets to Default.

   Compare TUI vs OpenCode Web/Desktop:

   • In TUI, after visiting a thread with xhigh model variant, creating new thread will re-use the xhigh variant

   • In web/desktop, after visiting a thread with xhigh model variant, creating new thread does not re-use the xhigh variant
