Open AI announcement of new model availability in API?

[wkvolkman]

Hello, I just received this email from Open AI, possibly you are aware of it.

You now have access to OpenAI o1 and OpenAI o3-mini in the API.

o1 is a large reasoning model with broader world knowledge, and o3-mini is our new small reasoning model,
optimized for cost. Both models support function calling, Structured Outputs, and developer messages.
o3-mini can outperform o1 in coding and other reasoning tasks. It’s also 93% cheaper than o1, significantly
faster, and supports streaming.

For both models, you can also choose between three reasoning effort options—low, medium, and high—to
optimize for your specific use cases. This flexibility allows o1 and o3-mini to “think harder” when tackling
complex challenges or to prioritize speed. In addition to the Chat Completions API, you can use these
models in the Assistants API and Batch API today. These models also come with a larger context
window of 200,000 tokens and a max output of 100,000 tokens.

From a user perspective I think that things are okay, just a new set of models being available, my question is are there controls for controlling the level of reasoning that they mention come with these models?

btw. I peeked at your job board however this seemed something more for triage/discussion before placing it on there.
