Hello there, I was just wondering whether there are any plans to let us control on pickaxe the amount of thinking that GPT5 is allowed to do, through the reasoning effort parameter. For now, we only have the temperature slider, which is not useful anymore on GPT5. Thank you! ---

@leoreche this is a good idea, and we hope to set something like this up soon! ---
