reasoning_effort parameter is mainly supported for OpenAI models. While other providers have reasoning models as well, not all providers support reasoning_effort

Reasoning models like o3 excel at complex problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and multi-step analysis. Use higher reasoning effort levels for more complex problems, but be aware they consume more tokens. Both TypeScript and Python SDKs provide full support for reasoning capabilities with proper error handling.
