The 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.

UnverifiedThe 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.78% 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.75% similarUnverifiedThe 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.72% similarVerifiedReasoning intensity and task complexity are not linearly correlated; for tasks with clear structure, the Low or Medium level is often already sufficient to reach the upper limit of the model's capabilities.70% similarUnverified基于任务难度的单位经济学原则：任务难度决定所需模型能力，无需默认追求最强模型，对无状态快速一次性请求Sol性价比更优68% similar
