The effort parameter controls how much the model thinks rather than how much it says; reducing effort does not reliably shorten visible responses, and controlling response length requires explicit prompting.

UnverifiedThe reasoning effort parameter allows callers to trade off reasoning depth against response speed and cost, with high effort triggering more chain-of-thought steps and low effort being faster and more lightweight.79% similarUnverifiedThe effort parameter (low/medium/high/extra) is essentially a control over the upper limit of thinking tokens, rather than changing the model's capabilities themselves.78% similarUnverifiedFull-duplex models are highly sensitive to how instructions are presented, with noticeable performance degradation when behavior must be inferred from a persona rather than explicitly stated77% similarUnverifiedThe effectiveness of the anti-job role is highly dependent on the underlying model's critical thinking capability; if the model's capability is insufficient, the anti-job may amount to only superficial opposition77% similarUnverifiedEffort is an amplifier, while model tier is the capability ceiling; adding thinking budget to a smaller model cannot bridge the capability gap inherent to the model itself.76% similar
