“xhigh is the only real step up -Max adds nothing over xhigh (1974 vs 1976) for 33% more cost and 2 more minutes per script - Low is Codex's default for 6.1 Sol and it's within about 25 Elo of the best setting, so for writing there's little reason to change it For writing, I'd stay on GPT-6 Sol (high or max).”
