Model Settings
For GPT-5 and newer models, you can fine-tune the AI’s behavior with the following settings:
Reasoning Effort
Controls how deeply the model thinks before responding. Higher effort leads to better answers for complex tasks but increases response time.
- None (GPT-5.1/5.2 only): Fastest response, minimal thinking time.
- Minimal (GPT-5 family only): Very fast, light reasoning.
- Low: Balanced speed and thought.
- Medium: Standard reasoning depth (Default for GPT-5 family).
- High: Deep thinking for complex problems.
- X-High (GPT-5.2 only): Maximum reasoning depth for the most difficult queries.
Verbosity
Controls the length and detail of the response.
- Low: Concise, to-the-point answers.
- Medium: Balanced detail (Default).
- High: Comprehensive, detailed explanations.
Model Selection
Choosing the Right Model
– Reasoning Effort: Adjust based on problem complexity.
– Verbosity: Adjust based on desired response length.
– Consider complexity of tasks
– Balance cost vs. performance
– Account for response time requirements
