Reasoning

Extended thinking for math, logic and analysis. Models that spend extra tokens thinking before answering, for problems where being right matters more than being fast. Reach for one when a wrong answer is expensive: the a model writes before it replies arrives as , billed as output, which is why a careful answer costs more than a quick one.

How to choose

Choosing a model in Reasoning

  1. 01

    Pay for hard problems only

    Reasoning tokens cost real money. Route routine requests to a language model and reserve reasoning models for genuinely hard problems.

  2. 02

    Watch output pricing

    Reasoning models bill their thinking. Output price per 1M tokens matters far more here than input price.

  3. 03

    Compare open-weight options

    Open reasoning models have closed much of the gap. Check them first when economics matter.
