  Choosing a Reasoning Effort for GPT-6.1 Sol: low to max

  GPT-6.1 Sol has five reasoning effort levels: low, medium (the default), high, xhigh, and max. The big change from GPT-6 Sol is that none and minimal are gone, so low is now the floor. This one setting drives both latency and cost. You never see reasoning tokens, but you pay for them at the output rate ($10 per million for 6.1 Sol on AIHubMix), and they take up room in the context window. Pick the wrong level and you can easily pay several times more than you need to. What each level is for

  GPT-6.1 Sol vs GPT-6 Sol: A One-Week Upgrade That Nearly Catches Astra

  OpenAI shipped GPT-6.1 Sol at DevDay on September 29, 2026. The timing is striking: GPT-6 Sol had been out for exactly one week (it launched September 22 alongside Luna), and the flagship GPT-6 Astra was less than a month old. The official model page sums up the pitch in one line: "Near-Astra performance for complex work at a lower cost." Concretely, that means agentic coding, computer use, and professional tasks at roughly Astra quality, for one fifth of Astra's per-token price. This post ans

  Short answer: jev-1.13 does not generate text.

Nothing to parse. Below is a working request, the full response format, and the one design mistake that will quietly cost you accuracy.

  Why did Gemini turn Chinese for no reason?

  Gemini may occasionally produce Chinese in its reasoning or final response even when you expect English. This usually points to temporary multilingual language drift. It does not, by itself, mean that Gemini has switched to a separate Chinese model. The short version: inspect the full conversation for Chinese language signals, restate the desired output language, and do not use the stream setting as a language fix. What Gemini language drift means Language drift occurs when a model begins in

  Jev Explained: How to Add Fast, Typed Decisions to an AI Agent

  Jev is best understood as a decision layer for software. It reads text or structured state and returns predefined classifications, scores, and yes-or-no probabilities. It does not write an answer for the user. That narrower interface makes it relevant to high-volume routing, triage, verification, and guardrail steps inside AI agents. The practical pattern is simple: let Jev make frequent, reversible judgments; let business code enforce policy; escalate uncertain or consequential cases to a capa
