OpenAI’s New o1 Model: A Quantum Leap or Just a Pricey Strawberry?

OpenAI’s new reasoning model, o1, outshines its predecessor by solving 83% of Olympiad math problems. Trained with a new algorithm and dataset, o1 offers faster, more accurate answers. However, it comes with a steep API price increase. The real test? Can it spell “strawberry” correctly?

Hot Take:

OpenAI’s latest release, o1, is here to flex its brain muscles, proving once and for all that robots are better at math than most of us. But beware: this high IQ comes with a high price tag. Maybe it should’ve been named “Project Wallet Drain” instead.

Key Points:

  • OpenAI releases advanced reasoning model, o1, and its faster, smaller sibling, o1-mini.
  • o1 demonstrates significant improvements in problem-solving, scoring 83% on the International Mathematics Olympiad test.
  • Utilizes new training algorithms and datasets, showing fewer hallucinations but still not perfect.
  • Access for ChatGPT-Plus, Teams, and soon Enterprise and Edu subscribers; free-tier users will get o1-mini eventually.
  • API access to o1 comes with a steep price increase compared to its predecessor, GPT-4o.
