 ### Thinking effort
 
-- `--reasoning-effort` (choice of minimal,low,medium,high)<br>
-GPT-5 has a configurable amount of "effort" it can put into thinking, which may cause it to take more time for a response to return, but may overall give a smarter answer. Applying this parameter after `serve` forces the server to use this reasoning effort by default, unless overrided by the API request with a different effort set. The default reasoning effort without setting this parameter is `medium`.

+GPT-5 has a configurable amount of "effort" it can put into thinking, which may cause it to take more time for a response to return, but may overall give a smarter answer. Applying this parameter after `serve` forces the server to use this reasoning effort by default, unless overrided by the API request with a different effort set. The default reasoning effort without setting this parameter is `medium`. The `gpt-5.1` family (including codex) supports `low`, `medium`, and `high` while `gpt-5.1-codex-max` adds `xhigh`; neither offers a `minimal` variant.
