Input schema
The fields you can use to run this model with an API. If you don’t give a value for a field its default value will be used.
| Field | Type | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| prompt |
string
|
The prompt to send to the model. Do not use if using messages.
|
|
| system_prompt |
string
|
System prompt to set the assistant's behavior
|
|
| messages |
array
|
[]
|
A JSON string representing a list of messages. For example: [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, how are you?"}]. If provided, prompt and system_prompt are ignored.
|
| image_input |
array
|
[]
|
List of images to send to the model
|
| reasoning_effort |
None
|
minimal
|
Constrains effort on reasoning for GPT-5 models. Currently supported values are minimal, low, medium, and high. The minimal value gets answers back faster without extensive reasoning first. Reducing reasoning effort can result in faster responses and fewer tokens used on reasoning in a response. For higher reasoning efforts you may need to increase your max_completion_tokens to avoid empty responses (where all the tokens are used on reasoning).
|
| verbosity |
None
|
medium
|
Constrains the verbosity of the model's response. Lower values will result in more concise responses, while higher values will result in more verbose responses. Currently supported values are low, medium, and high. GPT-5 supports this parameter to help control whether answers are short and to the point or long and comprehensive.
|
| max_completion_tokens |
integer
|
Maximum number of completion tokens to generate. For higher reasoning efforts you may need to increase your max_completion_tokens to avoid empty responses (where all the tokens are used on reasoning).
