Quick Notes on OpenAI's New o1 Model

Quick notes on OpenAI's new o1 model! 🎧 Now with a 8-min podcast for the full scoop – perfect for background listening!

Is this a point AI started to truly thinking, or just really good at faking it?

Some insights:

  • Main feature: New models can solve more complex problems in science and programming, but need more time to answer;

  • During training, they improve thinking processes, try different strategies, and realize mistakes;

  • Developers say "future versions might think for hours, days, even weeks" – longer thinking time could mean better answers;

  • Current o1 thinks for a few seconds;

  • Preview model integrated into ChatGPT chatbot and API;

  • Lightweight o1-mini model released, focused on specific programming tasks;

  • Available to ChatGPT Plus and Team users; o1-mini might be included in free version;

  • Usage limits: 30 messages/week for o1-preview, 50 for o1-mini;

  • Not a full replacement for gpt-4o; excels only in specific tasks, that require reasoning, like calculations and coding;

  • Performs at gold medalist level in math and programming Olympiads; comparable to a doctoral student in complex physics tasks;

  • Model doesn’t have internet connection or ability to search information;

  • Preview version may have bugs; full model exists but still being tested;

  • Prompts can be simple – o1 is "all understanding", no need for detailed explanations.
