No. The plugin is only adapted, tested and fixed against relatively stable DSH RC releases; alpha builds change their client API too often and are not maintained, so you may need to patch it yourself for alpha.Will the slider show up for every model I pick?Only if the model publishes at least two reasoning-effort levels in the DSH model directory; if it exposes fewer than two, the plugin shows a hint instead of a slider.

For models you declare yourself in settings.yaml under llm-pi-ai, the plugin offers a 'view effort declaration guide' panel with a ready-to-copy YAML snippet and suggested levels, backed by a built-in knowledge base that currently covers GLM-5.2 and Kimi K3.
