API model: gpt-5.3-chat-latest available (aka "instant" on ChatGPT)
OpenAI Developer Community

No API-only model specifically yet, but you get what was just released to ChatGPT, “experiment with the latest version with less feature support”:
gpt-5.3-chat-latest Supports:
temperature: no
top_p: no
Real system role: no
- Unlike prior models of “chat”, currently supports sending reasoning_effort, internally: ‘minimal’:5, ‘low’:16, ‘medium’:64, and ‘high’:200. (all ineffective to get lots of thinking done for minimal tasks, but at high, up to 700/700 split of reasoning-to-seen tokens for increasing question).
- “verbosity” does have an effect: “low” is extremely low output (internal “oververbosity” of 1)
No pricing yet, but probably follows 5.3 codex, along with no cache discount for running on service_tier or batch.
