Its a great update, I ran a benchmark comparing verbosity and intelligence compared to old weights.

- Reasoning effort = 1 is now actually usable and produces 2.5x less tokens than old weights, without intelligence lost.

- Overall 20% less tokens at each reasoning effort.

- Same intelligence and same tool-calling pattern.
