Switch to Hard Mode

Deep reasoning for complex tasks

What Is Hard Mode?

For heavier research sessions or deep ideation, switch to Hard Mode (Claude Sonnet 4.5).

Hard Mode is more expensive but provides deeper reasoning across multiple turns. Use it when you need to grapple with complex research or synthesize insights from multiple sources.

When to Use Hard Mode

  • Deep analysis of multiple research items
  • Generating new ideas from existing notes
  • Complex reasoning over many nodes
  • Multi-turn strategic thinking

Try It

  1. Pull several nodes into Focus (research + your own ideas)
  2. Toggle to Hard Mode (🔥 at bottom of agents panel)
  3. Ask RA-H to synthesize insights or generate new connections

Remember: Easy Mode is for building context. Hard Mode is for deep work.
