OpenAI, recognized for the widely-used AI chatbot ChatGPT, recently introduced o1-mini, its newest large language model. Previously, access to o1-mini was restricted to ChatGPT Plus, Teams, Enterprise, and Education users.

As a segment of Project Strawberry, the model belongs to a new suite of large language models, including o1-preview and o1-mini. The latter is a compact and more efficient variant designed specifically for code generation.

Previously exclusive to ChatGPT Plus, Team, Education, and Enterprise edition users, OpenAI is now extending the o1-mini to ChatGPT users on the free tier. The company, led by Sam Altman, asserts that this new AI model is proficient in reasoning and can resolve complex problems more swiftly than humans.

While previous ChatGPT models GPT-4 were trained to offer answers by detecting patterns in the training data, the new model is based on a system of rewards and penalties. The company says o1 was also taught to process user queries by breaking them down and analyzing them one step at a time, similar to how humans do when approaching a problem.

At the moment, the new model cannot browse the internet or generate images from scratch, but OpenAI claims it is more accurate than its other large language models.
