# ChatGPT subs, non-interactive improvements, and a touch of perf

This is a pretty solid release with some nice contributions from both the Charm team and one of our fave contributors. Let's go!

## Use your ChatGPT subscription in Crush

If you love Crush _and_ your ChatGPT subscription you’ll _love_ this release. Enjoy!

## Non-interactive mode: reasoning

Headless Crush users now get more control with a new `--reasoning-effort` flag in `crush run`. Go crazy and orchestrate to the max!

If you (or your agent) mistypes a reasoning effort you'll get the proper accepted values, too.

```bash
crush run --model "hyper/glm-5.3" --reasoning-effort "max"
```

## Shredding the perf

@taigrr contributed a bunch of solid performance improvements to scrolling and spinners. Mouse scroll events are coalesced, chat scrolls are memoized and the spinners all use a shared clock. This stuff is really good: check it out.

## Choppin’ off 4MB

We also ripped the Swagger stuff from client-server mode with a hand-rolled—but fully OpenAPI v3.2.1 compliant—implementation. This shaved about 4MB off the binary and will nullify chances of in the long run. Thanks, Go type system!

Have a great weekend,
Charm 💌

<summary>Verifying the artifacts</summary>

First, download the [`checksums.txt` file](https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.94.1/checksums.txt) and the [`checksums.txt.sigstore.json` file](https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.94.1/checksums.txt.sigstore.json) files, for example, with `wget`:

```bash
wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.94.1/checksums.txt'
wget 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/releases/download/v0.94.1/checksums.txt.sigstore.json'
```

Then, verify it using [`cosign`](https://github.com/sigstore/cosign):

```bash
cosign verify-blob \
  --certificate-identity 'https://github.com/charmbracelet/meta/.github/workflows/goreleaser.yml@refs/heads/main' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer 'https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com' \
  --bundle 'checksums.txt.sigstore.json' \
  ./checksums.txt
```

If the output is `Verified OK`, you can safely use it to verify the checksums of other artifacts you downloaded from the release using `sha256sum`:

```bash
sha256sum --ignore-missing -c checksums.txt
```

Done! You artifacts are now verified!
