Overview
Reasoning Deep is Reasoning given more room: a wider sweep of sources, a longer chain of work, and the largest output allowance in the family. It is the most expensive way to ask a question on the platform and it should feel like it. Reach for it when the answer is going into a decision, a filing, or a document someone will rely on.
How it behaves
The widest sweep and the longest chain of work.
Speed and depth trade against each other across a family. The faster versions cost more per rung, not less: what is being bought is a shorter wait, and reserving capacity to answer promptly costs more than using it whenever it is free.
Choosing this model
Reach for it when
- Long-form research and written analysis
- Questions where a shallow answer is worse than no answer
- Work that will be reviewed, cited or acted on
Reach for something else when
- Use
reasoningwhen standard depth already answers the question. - Use
reasoning.fastwhen you need an answer inside an interactive wait.
Others in the Reasoning family
- EvaEsi Reasoning: Deeper synthesis for questions that need working through.
- EvaEsi Reasoning Verify: Checks claims against evidence and reports what it could not support.
- EvaEsi Reasoning Fast: Reasoning held to an interactive latency budget.
