Adaptive Thinking
An inference-time computation mechanism in which a model automatically allocates its reasoning budget according to task complexity, computing less for simple problems and more for complex ones. It supports manual adjustment of thinking effort to balance intelligence, cost, and latency.

Opus 5.5's thinking mode is always on, and it has adaptive thinking capabilities, allowing it to control the amount of thinking on its own based on task complexity.
The adaptive thinking mechanism allows the model to dynamically determine the depth of reasoning based on problem difficulty, answering simple questions directly and only engaging in full reasoning for complex ones.
