WPiko Chatbot supports various OpenAI models, each with different capabilities and pricing:

Models

  • GPT-5.4
  • GPT-5.3
  • GPT-5.2
  • GPT-5.1
  • GPT-5
  • GPT-4.1

    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

  • Navigate to AI Configuration
  • Find the “Model” dropdown menu
  • Select from available models based on your needs.
  • If a supported model is selected (e.g., GPT-5 family), additional settings will appear:
  • Reasoning Effort: Adjust based on problem complexity.
    Verbosity: Adjust based on desired response length.

  • Consider the following when making your selection:
  • – Consider complexity of tasks
    – Balance cost vs. performance
    – Account for response time requirements

    Performance Considerations

    Cost Efficiency

  • Consider your usage volume
  • Monitor token consumption
  • Balance quality vs. cost
  • Start with lower-tier models and upgrade as needed
  • Best Practices

    Model Selection Tips

  • Test different models with your specific content
  • Monitor performance and costs
  • Adjust based on user feedback
  • Optimization Strategies

  • Use the simplest model that meets your needs
  • Regular performance reviews
  • Monitor usage patterns
  • Adjust model selection based on:
  • – Response quality
    – Speed requirements
    – Budget constraints
    – User satisfaction

    Troubleshooting

    Common Issues

  • Slow Responses
  • – Consider switching to a faster model
    – Consider switching to a non reasoning model
    – Check server resources

    • Quality Issues
    • – Upgrade to a more capable model
      – Review system instructions
      – Test with different prompts
