    # It's also fine to pass a GPT-5 model name explicitly: model="gpt-5.6-sol", model_settings=ModelSettings(reasoning=Reasoning(effort="high"), verbosity="low"), ) ``` レイテンシーを抑えるには、GPT-5 モデルで `reasoning.effort="none"` を使用することを推奨します。 GPT-5.6 は、既存の `reasoning` 設定を通じて、推論モード、会話ターン間で引き継がれる推論コンテキスト、`"max"` 労力レベルもサポートします。これらの制御は Responses API 経路で利用できます。 ```python from openai.types.shared import Reasoning from agents import Agent, ModelSettings agent = Agent( name="Deep research agent", model="gpt-5.6-sol", model_settings=ModelSettings( reasoning=Reasoning( mode="pro", effort="max", context="all_turns", ), ), ) ``` `reasoning.mode` と `reasoning.context` は Responses 専用の設定です。Chat Completions では `reasoning.effort` のみが使用され、サポートされる労力レベルはモデルと API サーフェスによって異なります。GPT-5.6 の `"max"` 労力には Responses API を使用してください。Chat

    ⚡ GPT-5.6 DROPS THURSDAY

    Excerpt
    The most powerful AI models are starting to look less like products and more like passes into a closed club. Publicly, we hear: “safety,” “staged rollout,” “available soon.” In practice: some people get GPT-5.6 now, while everyone else waits for permission. That is a dangerous precedent. Because the real divide won’t be between people who use AI and people who don’t. It will be between those who got the best AI in time — and those who got it after the game had already started.

    Feedback on GPT-5.6 from the founder of OpenCode • Dax says he usually doesn’t hype new models. But GPT-5.6 has noticeably changed how his team works. • The key point: he doesn’t think the model writes good code on its own. What he likes is not the out-of-the-box result, but the process of getting to good code with it. • According to him, GPT-5.6 understands the task better and loses fewer details along the way. It also catches things the developer may have forgotten. • The problems are still there: the model can still be overly defensive and write unnecessary code. Sometimes they do another pass afterward and delete half of what it wrote. • The most telling fact: his team’s token usage is
