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.
