Version

OpenClaw 2026.4.5 (3e72c03)

Problem 1 (feature request)

Gateway chat does not show the current thinking level by default. I have to run /think to verify before sending prompts, which wastes tokens/time.

Requested behavior: always-visible live indicator in chat UI showing effective thinking level (default resolved vs session override).

Problem 2 (bug)

/think option list appears model-inaccurate in GPT contexts (shows Claude-ish adaptive, omits xhigh where expected).

Expected behavior: options shown by /think should match actual provider/model capabilities.

Repro

  1. Open Gateway chat
  2. Use GPT/OpenAI context
  3. Run /think with no argument
  4. Observe options list

Actual

No always-visible thinking-level indicator in chat UI, and option list can be misleading.

Expected

Live indicator + model-correct option list.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Update the Gateway chat UI to display a live thinking level indicator and ensure the /think option list accurately reflects the capabilities of the current model/provider.

Guidance

  • Review the current implementation of the /think command to identify why the option list is not accurately representing the model's capabilities, particularly in GPT contexts.
  • Investigate the feasibility of adding a live thinking level indicator to the chat UI, potentially by integrating with the existing logic that determines the effective thinking level (default resolved vs session override).
  • Verify that the expected behavior is correctly defined for different models/providers, including GPT/OpenAI, to ensure consistency in the /think option list.
  • Consider adding a feature flag or configuration option to control the visibility of the thinking level indicator, allowing users to customize their experience.

Example

No code snippet is provided due to the lack of specific implementation details in the issue.

Notes

The solution may require updates to both the backend logic and the frontend UI, and careful consideration should be given to ensuring a consistent user experience across different models and providers.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement a temporary fix to display the thinking level indicator and correct the /think option list for GPT contexts, with plans to integrate a more permanent solution in a future update. This approach allows for a quicker resolution to the user's concerns while still acknowledging the need for a more comprehensive fix.
