# Objective
More and more models are supporting the `max` reasoning effort (DeepSeek
V4, GLM 5.2, etc) and that was missing from Zed.
## Solution
Added `ReasoningEffort::Max` level and implemented support for that
across providers. For most providers this is a no-op as they don't
support that (`max` is missing from `supported_reasoning_levels()`) but
for some providers this required tiny changes: for OpenCode there is now
a proper difference between `xhigh` and `max` (this bug was actually
what triggered this whole PR) and for DeepSeek reasoning levels were
migrated from a custom `deepseek::ReasoningEffort`.
## Testing
Tested and confirmed working with a simple _"rename this variable for
me. add a function. delete the function"_ test across a few providers
(OpenCode, GitHub Copilot, and DeepSeek).
