Selecting a Reasoning Mode

Updated over 5 months ago

Once you have composed an assistant request and attached any relevant files or items you wish to add, it is time to select from three processing modes—Fast, Advanced, or Max—depending on whether speed, reasoning complexity, or analytical depth is the priority.

Reasoning modes allow you to tailor the depth and pace of analysis to your needs, enabling rapid information retrieval as well as in-depth evaluation.

Fast reasoning is optimized for speed and surface-level research. It’s best used for summarization, fact retrieval, or quick checks—such as pulling trial phase data or listing mechanism-of-action details. Ideal when turnaround time matters more than depth.

For example: “List three examples of PDE-5 inhibitors.”

Advanced reasoning balances speed with moderate complexity. It handles straightforward analytical tasks, like comparing trial designs or summarizing structured reports. It’s suitable when users want thoughtful output without waiting for deep reasoning.

For example, "Compare Wegovy and Zepbound and conduct a comparative SWOT assessment for both."

Max reasoning prioritizes depth over speed for logic-heavy, nuanced queries. It's designed for cross-study interpretation, hypothesis generation, or evaluating mechanistic rationale in drug development. Best used when precision, layered reasoning, and full-context synthesis are critical..

For example, "Write a detailed summary on what differentiates PDE-5 Inhibitor drug class mechanistically and clinically?"
