OpenAI’s New “Reasoning” Models: Game-Changer or Just Expensive Hype?
OpenAI unveils new “reasoning” models, o1-preview and o1-mini, designed to outperform GPT series in STEM tasks. Despite being limited to text and slower, they promise high accuracy, with o1-mini priced attractively. Early developers report impressive results in coding, legal document drafting, and strategic planning.

Hot Take:
Looks like OpenAI just dropped a brain bomb with their new o1 models. Move over, GPT-4o, there’s a new PhD wannabe in town, and it’s ready to ace those STEM exams!
Key Points:
- OpenAI releases two new “reasoning” models, o1-preview and o1-mini, aimed at STEM tasks.
- Models limited to text inputs/outputs and slower response times but offer higher performance in reasoning tasks.
- o1-preview is the most expensive model; o1-mini is more budget-friendly.
- Early testers found models great for coding, drafting legal documents, and generating white papers.
- Access currently limited to high-usage API clients and select platforms like Microsoft Azure.
