 ### Fixed
 
+- Fixed DeepSeek V4 Flash `xhigh` thinking support so requests preserve `xhigh` and map it to DeepSeek's `max` reasoning effort ([#3944](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/3944)).
 - Fixed Anthropic streams that end before `message_stop` to be treated as errors instead of successful partial responses ([#3936](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/3936)).
 - Fixed generated OpenAI-compatible DeepSeek V4 models to carry the provider-specific reasoning effort mapping outside the direct DeepSeek provider ([#3940](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/3940)).
 - Fixed DeepSeek V4 Flash and V4 Pro pricing metadata to match current official rates ([#3910](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/3910)).
