BlockBeats news, on September 13, according to the official blog of OpenAI, OpenAI launched an artificial intelligence model o1 with reasoning ability, code-named "Strawberry". OpenAI o1 can reason about complex tasks and solve more difficult problems than previous scientific, coding and mathematical models. In the test, OpenAI o1 performed similarly to a doctoral student on challenging benchmark tasks such as physics, chemistry and biology, and performed well in mathematics and coding. In the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) qualifying exam, GPT-4o only solved 13% of the problems correctly, while the reasoning model scored 83%, and OpenAI o1's coding ability reached the 89th percentile in the Codeforces competition.

As an early model, OpenAI o1 does not yet have many useful features of ChatGPT, such as browsing the web for information and uploading files and images. GPT-4o will be more powerful in the short term. But for complex reasoning tasks, this is a major improvement and represents a new level of artificial intelligence capabilities. In light of this, we reset the counter to 1 and named the series OpenAI o1. Healthcare researchers can use o1 to annotate cell sequencing data, physicists can use o1 to generate the complex mathematical formulas required for quantum optics, and developers in all fields can use o1 to build and execute multi-step workflows.

OpenAI also released OpenAI o1-mini, a faster and cheaper inference model that is particularly efficient at encoding. As a smaller model, o1-mini is 80% cheaper than o1-preview, making it a powerful and cost-effective model for applications that require inference but do not require extensive world knowledge. OpenAI plans to provide access to o1-mini to all ChatGPT free users.
