Reasoning levels

Which level to choose

OpenAI names these settings reasoning.effort. Price per token is the same at every level. Higher effort uses more reasoning tokens, billed as output. developers.openai.com (opens in a new tab)

LevelWhen to use it, per OpenAIAA indexTokens/s
lowEfficient reasoning with a modest latency increase. Data analysis, drafting, execution-oriented coding and support chat developers.openai.com (opens in a new tab)––
mediumWhen quality and reliability matter. The default for most workloads and a balanced point for latency, performance and cost developers.openai.com (opens in a new tab)––
highHard reasoning, complex debugging, deep planning and high-value tasks where quality matters more than latency developers.openai.com (opens in a new tab)––

Our rule of thumb: Simple or speed-critical work: low. Standard work: the lab's default. Complex work: high. Use xhigh or max only when your own tests show a gain, as OpenAI and Anthropic both advise. developers.openai.com (opens in a new tab)platform.claude.com (opens in a new tab)

Tools and MCP connectors that fit

OpenAI: Remote MCP servers as a tool in the Responses API developers.openai.com (opens in a new tab). These official remote MCP servers fit that rule. We have not tested each server with this model. A server that publishes a client list is left out when this lab is not on it.
