According to BlockBeats, OpenAI has introduced a new artificial intelligence model named o1, internally codenamed 'Strawberry.' This model is designed to handle complex reasoning tasks and solve more challenging problems compared to previous scientific, coding, and mathematical models. During testing, OpenAI o1 demonstrated performance comparable to that of doctoral students in challenging benchmark tasks across physics, chemistry, and biology. It also excelled in mathematics and coding, achieving an 83% score on the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) qualification exam, significantly outperforming GPT-4o, which only solved 13% of the problems. In the Codeforces competition, OpenAI o1's coding abilities placed it in the 89th percentile.
As an early model, OpenAI o1 lacks several useful features of ChatGPT, such as web browsing for information and the ability to upload files and images. In the short term, GPT-4o remains more powerful. However, OpenAI o1 represents a significant advancement in handling complex reasoning tasks, marking a new level of AI capability. This development has led to the series being renamed OpenAI o1, with the counter reset to 1. The model has potential applications across various fields: healthcare researchers can use o1 to annotate cell sequencing data, physicists can generate complex mathematical formulas needed for quantum optics, and developers in all domains can build and execute multi-step workflows using o1.
Additionally, OpenAI has released OpenAI o1-mini, a faster and more cost-effective reasoning model particularly effective in coding. As a smaller model, o1-mini is 80% cheaper than o1-preview, making it a powerful and economical option for applications requiring reasoning without extensive world knowledge. OpenAI plans to provide all ChatGPT free users with access to o1-mini.
