Modular Cloud: MiniMax, DeepSeek and Gemma models, each sent the reasoning effort its API takes. A Nodecode rewrite of tommyjtl/hermes-modular-provider by tommyjtl.

Modular Cloud serves open models over an OpenAI-compatible API at https://api.modular.com/v1. With this cell, /connect offers Modular, /models lists the four models it describes, and a turn on modular/<model> goes out the way Modular takes it:

• the reasoning control is a nested reasoning object, not the chat lane's top-level reasoning_effort: {"effort": LEVEL} to think at a depth, {"enabled": false} to stop thinking, {"enabled": true} to just think;
• a level the model does not offer is lowered to the nearest one it does, never raised: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash takes low, high and max, so minimal becomes low and xhigh becomes high; MiniMax-M3.1-Flash takes five levels; minimax-m3 and gemma-4-31b-it take a toggle and no level at all, so any pick there means "think";
• turning reasoning off sends reasoning.enabled = false where the model has that switch, and its lightest level otherwise (MiniMax-M3.1-Flash always reasons, so it gets low);
• with no level picked, a model with a switch is told to think and a model without one is sent no reasoning field, so its own default stands -- the original's rule.

Get it

Tell the agent "add the modular cell", or run nodecode add nc://modular.

Set it up

Make a key at https://docs.modular.com/models, save it with /connect, or set MODULAR_API_KEY. The key rides to Modular and nowhere else.

The section is on unless it says "enabled": false:

{
  "modular": {
    // a proxy, or another base speaking Modular's wire
    "base_url": "https://api.modular.com/v1"
  }
}

Use it

Pick Modular in /models, then a model, and pick a thinking level with /think if you want one. A model the table does not describe still works if you name it: it is dialled at the same base and sent no reasoning object.

Not ported

• The GET /v1/models read that narrowed the live list to the described models. Nodecode reads this cell's catalog row instead, which carries the same four models; a model Modular adds is one line in provider.lisp.
• Prices, which the original left to Modular's public catalog.
• The profile's default auxiliary model (MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M3.1-Flash): Nodecode has no per-provider auxiliary model to set.
