Problem Statement
I want to set thinking effort to "high" which is presumably the 64000 mentioned in the model card.
If "high" does not mean 64000, then I want to set it to 64000.
The previous env variable MAX_THINKING_TOKENS does not do anything anymore.
Proposed Solution
Allow changing this option in /config or from CLI flags
