 ### Advanced: Using `reasoning_effort` with `summary` field
 
-By default, `reasoning_effort` accepts a string value (`"none"`, `"minimal"`, `"low"`, `"medium"`, `"high"`, `"xhigh"`—`"xhigh"` is only supported on `gpt-5.1-codex-max`) and only sets the effort level without including a reasoning summary.
+By default, `reasoning_effort` accepts a string value (`"none"`, `"minimal"`, `"low"`, `"medium"`, `"high"`, `"xhigh"`—`"xhigh"` is only supported on `gpt-5.1-codex-max` and `gpt-5.2` models) and only sets the effort level without including a reasoning summary.
 
 To opt-in to the `summary` feature, you can pass `reasoning_effort` as a dictionary. **Note:** The `summary` field requires your OpenAI organization to have verification status. Using `summary` without verification will result in a 400 error from OpenAI.

 **Note:**
 - GPT-5.1 introduced a new `reasoning_effort="none"` setting for faster, lower-latency responses. This replaces the `"minimal"` setting from GPT-5.
-- `gpt-5.1-codex-max` is the only model that supports `reasoning_effort="xhigh"`. All other models will reject this value.
+- `gpt-5.1-codex-max` and `gpt-5.2` models support `reasoning_effort="xhigh"`. All other models will reject this value.
 - `gpt-5-pro` only accepts `reasoning_effort="high"`. Other values will return an error.
 - When `reasoning_effort` is not set (None), OpenAI defaults to the value shown in the "Default" column.
