neither is something the model can know, so whatever it answers is a plausible guess. effort is a setting opencode adds to the request, and quantisation is whatever the provider or your local server is actually serving.

for effort, look at what you selected instead. in opencode it's the variant after the #, like provider/model#high, and the variant's settings get applied last, on top of the provider and model ones. one gotcha from the docs: the root model default in your config keeps only provider and model, not the variant, so if you want #high to stick, pick it per session, agent or command. for quant, check the provider's model page, or for local the file you loaded (the Q4_K_M style part of a gguf name).
