Hey ClickUp team! 👋
First off, love what you've been doing with ClickUp Brain — it's become an essential part of my daily workflow. However, I have some feedback and a request regarding the recent AI model updates.
###
The Problem:
With the recent switch to
Claude Opus 4.6
in ClickUp Brain, I've noticed a significant downgrade in my experience:
  • ⏳ Speed:
    Opus 4.6 is noticeably slower compared to the previous Opus 4.5. Response times have increased considerably, which disrupts my workflow and kills productivity, especially when I'm relying on Brain for quick iterations.
  • 📉 Output Quality:
    For certain tasks — particularly [content generation / summarization / code assistance / task planning] — Opus 4.6 doesn't perform as well as Opus 4.5 did. The responses feel less precise and sometimes miss the mark compared to what I was getting before.
  • Sonnet 4.5 is missing too:
    Sonnet 4.5 was a great middle ground — fast, efficient, and surprisingly capable for most everyday tasks. I'd love to have it back as an option.
###
The Request:
  1. 🔄 Bring back Claude Opus 4.5 and Sonnet 4.5 as selectable model options
    in ClickUp Brain. Having the ability to choose between model versions would let users pick what works best for their specific use case — speed vs. depth, quick tasks vs. complex reasoning.
  2. 🧠 Add Extended Thinking support
    — Claude's extended thinking feature allows the model to reason through complex problems step-by-step before generating a response. This would dramatically improve output quality for tasks like:
- Complex project planning and breakdown
- Detailed technical writing and analysis
- Multi-step problem solving
- Strategic brainstorming and decision-making
###
Suggested Implementation:
  • Add a
    model selector dropdown
    in ClickUp Brain settings (or per-conversation) so users can switch between available Claude models (Opus 4.5, Opus 4.6, Sonnet 4.5, etc.)
  • Add an
    "Extended Thinking" toggle
    (on/off) for when users want deeper, more reasoned outputs and don't mind a slightly longer wait
  • Optionally, set
    default models per workspace
    so teams can standardize
###
Why This Matters:
Not every task needs the latest model — sometimes the previous version just works better for specific jobs. Giving users the flexibility to choose empowers us to get the best results from ClickUp Brain without being locked into a one-size-fits-all approach.
Newer doesn't always mean better for every use case.
Choice = productivity.

Would love to hear if others in the community feel the same way. Drop a 👍 if you want model selection and extended thinking in ClickUp Brain!
Thanks for listening, ClickUp team! 💜
