I know this isn't using tools (e.g. the Python interpreter) because you have to turn those on explicitly. That's not actually supported for o1 in the API but you can do it for GPT-5 like this: curl https://api.openai.com/v1/responses \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \ -d '{ "model": "gpt-5", "input": "Multiply 87654321 × 98765432", "reasoning": { "effort": "medium", "summary": "detailed" }, "tools": [ { "type": "code_interpreter", "container": {"type": "auto"} } ] }' Here's the response: https://gist.github.com/simonw/c53c373fab2596c20942cfbb235af9ae https://gist.github.com/simonw/c53c373fab2596c20942cfbb235af...
