Known issues: measured guidance on medium effort and repeat penalty

#61
by bri-prism - opened

Adds guidance on reasoning_effort: "medium" and the repeat-penalty suggestion to the known-issues page, based on our own testing.

  • Long reasoning: at a moderate output limit, medium thinks noticeably less than the default xhigh and is about as accurate, because xhigh more often runs out of budget mid-reasoning. With much larger output budgets, xhigh is the more accurate setting; the entry says so.
  • Looping at xhigh: the community suggestion --repeat-penalty 1.05 didn't help noticeably in our tests, and a stronger penalty tended to hurt. medium runs out of budget much less often.
  • Empty answers: the start-here row and the entry now mention medium alongside the output limit, and the entry's status is updated now that the model card documents the output limit.
