output = thinking + final code. Lines of code show the page size the model chose, not the cost of equivalent work.

How to reproduce

Settings recorded for these runs. Multiple values show differences between runs. Effort is requested, not necessarily received; it is not comparable across models. Hover over quantization, K/V cache or engine values for their sources.
