CNN, OpenAI announces New model officially replacing Pharma and Healthcare professionals

London (CNN) — OpenAI has recently unveiled a new AI model designed to solve complex scientific, coding, and mathematical challenges, signaling a leap forward in artificial intelligence capabilities. The model, named "OpenAI o1," represents the first in a promising series, offering enhanced reasoning skills that surpass its predecessors.

Unlike previous AI versions, OpenAI o1 is trained to spend more time thinking through problems, refining its thought process much like a human. This new approach allows it to adopt varied strategies and recognize its own mistakes. The advanced reasoning power is already making waves in scientific communities, with use cases spanning from annotating complex cell sequencing data in healthcare research to generating mathematical formulas for quantum optics.

OpenAI also emphasizes the potential for the new model to tackle real-world challenges, such as drug discovery and sustainable energy solutions. Noam Brown, an OpenAI research scientist, highlighted the long-term potential of these models. “We aim for future versions to think for hours, days, even weeks... what cost would you pay for a new cancer drug? For breakthrough batteries?” he shared on X (formerly Twitter).

Though still in preview. It has already been tested in benchmark tasks in fields like physics, chemistry, and biology, performing at the level of PhD students.

Despite its potential, OpenAI acknowledges that o1 currently lacks features such as browsing the web or uploading files, making it a specialized tool for complex reasoning rather than everyday tasks. Nonetheless, its success hints at the future possibilities for AI in medicine, technology, and environmental science.
