OpenAI’s Thinking Effort Picker: Choose Your ChatGPT Brainpower Wisely!
OpenAI is testing the new Thinking effort picker, letting you decide how hard ChatGPT should think. From light to max, more “juice” means deeper, slower responses. Perfect for those times when you need serious advice on econometrics, or just a quick suggestion for dinner.
Hot Take:
OpenAI’s new “Thinking Effort Picker” for ChatGPT is like giving your AI a caffeine dosage. Sometimes you need a shot of espresso (or max thinking), and sometimes a decaf is just fine (hello, light thinking). Just don’t ask it about your weekend plans with max effort unless you want a quantum physics dissertation on the optimal Sunday brunch location.
Key Points:
- OpenAI introduces a “Thinking Effort Picker” for ChatGPT with four levels: light, standard, extended, and max.
- The levels determine the internal “juice” budget, affecting the depth and speed of responses.
- The higher the juice, the more thought-intensive the answer with a trade-off on speed.
- Max level is exclusive to Pro plan subscribers costing $200.
- The feature aims to give users more control over the AI’s response effort.
