OpenAI introduces o1 model

OpenAI has unveiled its latest AI model, o1, which aims to improve reasoning capabilities in artificial intelligence. As reported by multiple sources, this new series of models aims to solve complex problems in science, programming, and mathematics by spending more time "thinking" before answering, thus mimicking human thought processes.

Advanced thinking and performance

The o1 model demonstrates remarkable abilities in solving complex problems, particularly in STEM fields. In assessments, it scored in the 89th percentile on competitive programming questions (Codeforces) and placed in the top 500 students in the USA Math Olympiad Qualification (AIME). Its performance extends to scientific fields, exceeding PhD-level accuracy on a benchmark of physics, biology, and chemistry problems (GPQA). This advanced reasoning ability allows o1 to tackle multifaceted problems, create sophisticated algorithms, and excel at comparative analysis tasks such as reviewing contracts or legal documents.

Performance Across Benchmarks

OpenAI's o1 model has demonstrated exceptional performance across various benchmarks, showing its advanced reasoning capabilities. The following table summarizes key benchmark results for the o1 model:

The o1 model's performance is particularly noteworthy in STEM fields, demonstrating its ability to solve complex problems and reason through challenging tasks. Its success across these diverse benchmarks indicates a significant advancement in AI reasoning capabilities, positioning it as a powerful tool for various applications in science, mathematics, and programming.

O1 model variants

Two variants of the o1 model have been introduced: o1-preview and o1-mini. The o1-mini is a smaller, faster, and less expensive version designed specifically for coding tasks. It is 80% cheaper than o1-preview while still offering competitive performance in coding benchmarks. Both models are available in ChatGPT and through the OpenAI API, with o1-mini offering a balance between efficiency and performance for developers who need reasoning capabilities without requiring extensive world knowledge.

Limitations and challenges

Despite its advanced capabilities, the o1 model faces several challenges. It is significantly more expensive to use, with input costs three times higher and output costs four times higher than GPT-4o in the API. The model can be slower at processing requests, sometimes taking over ten seconds to answer complex questions. Additionally, the o1 currently lacks features such as web browsing and file analysis that are available in other AI models. There are also reports of increased hallucinations and a tendency to make confident but false statements more often than its predecessors.

Availability and future plans

Currently available to ChatGPT Plus and Team users, the o1 models have weekly message limits of 30 messages for o1-preview and 50 for o1-mini. Enterprise and education customers will gain access next week, while developers who meet API usage level 5 can start prototyping both models immediately. OpenAI plans to expand access to o1-mini to all free ChatGPT users in the future, although no specific release date has been announced. The company is committed to improving the capabilities of the models, addressing limitations, and incorporating additional features such as browsing and file uploads to increase their usefulness in various applications.
