* feat(settings): opt-in reasoning effort for utility model calls Add utility_reasoning_effort (empty = provider default) and let utility calls inherit a chat session's effort only on that session's matching endpoint+model route. Explicit caller effort wins; otherwise the utility setting wins over session inheritance on utility-chain routes. Resolve the chain and setting per user and validate levels against model evidence. No-session work uses the setting only, with no chat-effort crossover. - src/utility_effort.py owns effort_for_call and candidate_effort_factory - remove global effort fill from llm_call/llm_call_async; utility call sites pass effort explicitly, so unrelated calls on the same route do not pick it up - wire auto-title, memory/persona/skill extraction, memory suggest/import/ audit, compaction, auto-sort, and per-owner background task candidates - wire no-session email writing-style, summary, and translation calls, plus skills evaluation, necessity/retrieval audits, and improvement - deliberately exclude email replies because thinking_mode='off' - add the optional candidate_request_factory to llm_call_async_with_fallback - add sync llm_call reasoning_effort and include it in the cache key - show the Utility Model effort selector only for advertised levels Fixes #6569 * fix(utility): exclude email replies and support inherited effort in settings Pass reasoning_effort='' to task_llm_call_async for scheduled reply drafting to honor the email reply exclusion. In AI settings, resolve the effective Default Chat endpoint and model when Utility is set to 'Same as chat' so supported reasoning effort levels can be selected. * feat(utility): support same-as-chat effort and session model fallback in compaction In AI settings, show 'Same as chat' as the default effort option when Utility Model is inherited, and support an explicit 'Provider default' (off) override. Pass the active session fallback in context compaction callers so compaction shares the live chat session's model and reasoning effort for maximum prompt/KV cache affinity. * fix(settings): clarify chat effort inheritance and keep option visible Label inherited effort as 'Same as chat (when supported)' and mention cache affinity and latency speedups in the help text. Ensure the effort control remains visible when the utility model is set to 'Same as chat' even if the default chat model lacks advertised reasoning levels, and populate candidate levels across configured endpoints so the user can configure effort or keep provider default. * feat(settings): per-fallback reasoning effort for utility model Each utility fallback row gets an Effort select, shown only when the selected model advertises reasoning levels. The choice is stored as reasoning_effort on the utility_model_fallbacks entry and sent only to that candidate; an empty value means provider default. * fix(utility): transmit reasoning effort in non-streaming calls --------- Co-authored-by: Alexandre Teixeira <111787685+alteixeira20@users.noreply.github.com>

Quick Start
devis the default branch and gets the newest changes first. Usemainif you want the more curated branch.
git clone https://github.com/odysseus-dev/odysseus.git
cd odysseus
cp .env.example .env
docker compose up -d --build
Open http://localhost:7011 when the containers are healthy. The first admin password is printed in docker compose logs odysseus.
The compose files pull the official multi-arch image ghcr.io/odysseus-dev/odysseus (published by CI on every push to main and dev) and only build locally if the pull fails — so this also works on hosts without a build toolchain, e.g. as a Portainer stack.
Production deployments: pin the immutable tag instead of :latest. :latest and bare :X.Y.Z tags move on every push to main, but :X.Y.Z-<sha> (e.g. 1.0.2-7c8070f) always refers to one specific build:
ODYSSEUS_IMAGE=ghcr.io/odysseus-dev/odysseus:1.0.2-7c8070f docker compose up -d
Native installs, GPU notes, Windows/macOS instructions, HTTPS, and configuration live in the setup guide.

Contributing
Help is welcome. The best entry points are fresh-install testing, provider setup bugs, mobile/editor polish, docs, and small focused refactors. See CONTRIBUTING.md and ROADMAP.md.
Security
Odysseus is a self-hosted workspace with powerful local tools. Keep auth enabled, keep private data out of Git, and do not expose raw model/service ports publicly.
- Keep
AUTH_ENABLED=truefor any network-accessible deployment. - Keep
LOCALHOST_BYPASS=falseoutside local development.
Deployment details are in the setup guide.
