No request changes are required, and an explicit prompt_cache_key still overrides the preset default. This can reduce costs by about 5% for applications that use presets frequently, depending on cache utilization. The current preset values include each key for frozen configurations.

 Fast preset updatedThe Agent API fast preset now uses openai/gpt-5.6-luna with minimal reasoning effort and priority processing. Dynamic fast preset requests pick up the change automatically. If you use a frozen configuration, update the model and reasoning effort and set service_tier to priority. Priority processing uses 2× the model’s standard token prices.
