Issue with reasoning tokens being used when using the "gpt-5.1-chat-latest" model

The “chat” models are your copy of what runs on ChatGPT - running with that configuration. They don’t accept a reasoning effort parameter; logically you’d get the same internal reasoning (and pre-judgement) done on ChatGPT. The actual reasoning tokens are obfuscated, <127 and you get billed 0.
