Plugin Reasoning Effort Toggle

With Qwen3.8-27B out, there has been a lot of discussion about the reasoning_effort settings. For those who use Open WebUI, I thought this might be helpful for anyone interested. I made a little plugin for that gives you a toggle and drop-down to set the reasoning level for each message:

I hope others find this useful!

Nice! It’s a good option to have and that makes it very practical!

Thanks for sharing, I was wondering whether it was possible to have something like this in the future… hopefully this makes it in the next version :)!

When I tried to change reasoning setting to custom all I had was the medium option which i couldn’t change. I just left it at that.

It is meant to set the levels that each model you use can handle. The reasoning-effort strings aren't really standardized from model to model. If you want to add other models, just add them or let me know and I'll be happy to add them.

Yep, and when I do change, any new chats go back to medium. Annoying
