OpenAI gpt-5-mini with reasoning effort

Set reasoning_effort to "high" on OpenAIResponses so gpt-5-mini reasons more before answering.

    model=OpenAIResponses(id="gpt-5-mini", reasoning_effort="high"),
    tools=[HackerNewsTools()],
    instructions="Use tables to display data.",
    markdown=True,
)

agent.print_response("Compare the subjects of the top five Hacker News stories and include their URLs.", stream=True)
