Need a quick answer or idea without waiting? If you’re using GPT‑5, switching to “Fast” mode gives you instant results with minimal delay.
How to:
– Make sure you’re using GPT‑5 in ChatGPT (available to Plus, Team, and Pro users).
– In the model dropdown at the top, select Fast.
– Enter your question or prompt as usual, e.g. “List three ways to improve team productivity.”
What it’s for:
Ideal for simple questions, lists, ideas or light research when you’re short on time and don’t need deeper reasoning.
Pro‑Tip: If the response is too basic, switch to “Thinking Mini” (if you have access to it GPT‑5) or full “Thinking” mode for more detailed insights – each mode balances speed and depth differently.
