   This would be good. New chats constantly default to "High" where I normally want to run "Medium"

   +1 to this, I also want to set default "medium" and it is defaulting to "High" and also it is defaulting to "Fast mode" off

   @maria-rcks I was planning to implement this. Which one would you prefer, Thinking Level in the settings page, or simply persist the last selected Thinking Level in the composer?

   I don't think there is a guarantee that each model will use the same "reasoning" enumerations, especially across providers. My recommendation would be to not add a new settings item but make sure t3code picks the same default that the harness uses and then persist that as the last selected default.

   My suggested approach would only apply to codex, I'm assuming a similar approach can be applied to other providers when they become available.

   i would also like to set the default model, reasoning and fast mode.

   My recommendation would be to not add a new settings item but make sure t3code picks the same default that the harness uses and then persist that as the last selected default.

   i like the "same default as harness" approach. codex has config settings for model, model_reasoning_effort and service_tier. you could read and expose these options in the t3code settings under a "Codex settings" section.
