 ### Fixed
 
 - Stopped sending `tools: []` on OpenAI-compatible, Anthropic, OpenAI Responses, OpenAI Codex Responses, and Azure OpenAI Responses requests when no tools are active (e.g. `pi --no-tools`). DashScope/Aliyun Qwen (OpenAI-compatible) rejects empty tools arrays with `"[] is too short - 'tools'"` (HTTP 400); the field is now omitted unless the conversation has tool history (the existing LiteLLM/Anthropic-proxy workaround).
+- Fixed `supportsXhigh()` to recognize DeepSeek V4 Pro, preserving `xhigh` reasoning requests so they map to DeepSeek's `max` effort ([#3662](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/3662))
 ## [0.70.2] - 2026-04-24
