The Agent API xhigh preset now allows up to 512,000 output tokens, up from 128,000. If you use a frozen configuration , update max_output_tokens to keep matching the preset. Correction: xhigh has used Fast Search since the October update that moved low , medium , and high to Fast Search. That entry now lists xhigh too.
