OpenAI describes reasoning.effort as controlling how many reasoning tokens get used before the answer. Anthropic’s docs are even more explicit that effort trades off thoroughness vs token efficiency “with a single model”.
So I wouldn’t read the Claude Code cache warning as proof that a different model is being used. It may just mean the thinking/effort setting is part of the cache key.
