👋 we recently changed the default effort to medium to better balance intelligence with speed, based on median usage we were seeing in the wild. You can change it anytime in the /model selector if you prefer low effort (faster) or high effort (more intelligence). The setting is sticky and will persist for your next session. If you’ve changed effort to high already, can you double check you’re on the latest version, and that your CLAUDE.md’s (in /memory) don’t have confusing/conflicting instructions? That’s the most common cause. [deleted a previous post where I accidentally said default is high, it’s early and I haven’t had coffee..]

We've rolled out a new auto-memory feature. Claude now remembers what it learns across sessions — your project context, debugging patterns, preferred approaches — and recalls it later without you having to write anything down.
