Leverage GPT-5.6 Sol’s Graduated Reasoning Levels for Deep Work
Switch to 'Medium' reasoning for complex logic and coding tasks.
Upgrade your technical workflows by selecting the 'Medium' reasoning level (powered by GPT-5.6 Sol) for tasks involving coding, research, or cybersecurity.
The Scenario
You are tasked with solving a high-level coding bug or analyzing a complex scientific dataset that requires deeper logical leaps than a standard chatbot can provide.
Before & after
Users would spend 30–60 minutes manually breaking down complex logic or coding tasks into smaller prompts for less capable models.
Switch automatically or choose the 'Medium' reasoning level in the model picker. GPT-5.6 Sol will handle the complexity in 1–2 minutes.
The Prompt
[PASTE_COMPLEX_PROBLEM_OR_CODE]. Reasoning Level: Medium. Solve this by thinking through each logical step first, ensuring the final output meets all technical constraints for [SPECIFY_INDUSTRY_E.G. CYBERSECURITY].
GPT-5.6 Sol is a flagship reasoning model designed specifically for high-intensity logic tasks like cybersecurity, science, and computer use. On paid plans, you can enable 'Configure' in the model picker to allow ChatGPT to automatically toggle reasoning levels (Instant to Medium) based on your prompt's difficulty.
