Reasoning

Extended reasoning

Works through problems step by step before answering, trading latency for accuracy on harder tasks.

Development

Calls external functions mid-response, then continues reasoning from the result.

Structured output

Returns responses constrained to a JSON schema, ready to parse without cleanup.

Streaming

Streams tokens as they're generated instead of waiting on the full response.
