enum

OpenAI::ReasoningEffortEnum1

Inherits Enum < Comparable < Value < Object

Constrains effort on reasoning for reasoning models. Currently supported values are none, minimal, low, medium, high, and xhigh. Reducing reasoning effort can result in faster responses and fewer tokens used on reasoning in a response.

  • gpt-5.1 defaults to none, which does not perform reasoning. The supported reasoning values for gpt-5.1 are none, low, medium, and high. Tool calls are supported for all reasoning values in gpt-5.1.
  • All models before gpt-5.1 default to medium reasoning effort, and do not support none.
  • The gpt-5-pro model defaults to (and only supports) high reasoning effort.
  • xhigh is supported for all models after gpt-5.1-codex-max.

Constants

None = 0
Minimal = 1
Low = 2
Medium = 3
High = 4
Xhigh = 5

to_json(json : JSON::Builder) : Nil

Serializes this enum member by name.

For non-flags enums, the serialization is a JSON string. The value is the member name (see #to_s) transformed with String#underscore.

enum Stages
  INITIAL
  SECOND_STAGE
end

Stages::INITIAL.to_json      # => %("initial")
Stages::SECOND_STAGE.to_json # => %("second_stage")

For flags enums, the serialization is a JSON array including every flagged member individually serialized in the same way as a member of a non-flags enum. None is serialized as an empty array, All as an array containing all members.

@[Flags]
enum Sides
  LEFT
  RIGHT
end

Sides::LEFT.to_json                  # => %(["left"])
(Sides::LEFT | Sides::RIGHT).to_json # => %(["left","right"])
Sides::All.to_json                   # => %(["left","right"])
Sides::None.to_json                  # => %([])

ValueConverter.to_json offers a different serialization strategy based on the member value.
