Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-24

Pilot the endpoints separately and confirm availability in the intended service.

Why
Both have developer API availability, while Extended Thinking remains in enterprise private preview. Independent tests show substantial workload and latency differences.
Next
Test interruptions, tool completion, answer delay and full-call cost with human escalation available.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Extended Thinking remains in enterprise private preview.
  • Extended Thinking can delay substantive answers by several seconds.
  • Base Live task completion varies markedly by workload.
  • Hallucinations, slowness and timeouts remain acknowledged limitations.
  • Independent tests lack long-term deployment evidence.
