According to BlockBeats, on September 13, OpenAI launched an artificial intelligence model o1 with reasoning capabilities, internally codenamed "Strawberry". o1 can solve problems that are more difficult than previous scientific, coding, and mathematical models.

In tests, O1 performed similarly to PhD students on benchmark tasks in physics, chemistry, and biology, and excelled in math and coding. On the International Mathematical Olympiad qualifying exam, O1 scored in the 83rd percentile.

As an early model, o1 does not yet have many of the capabilities of ChatGPT, but it demonstrates significant progress on complex reasoning tasks. Healthcare researchers, physicists, and developers can use o1 to complete multi-step workflows.

OpenAI also released o1-mini, a faster and cheaper inference model that is 80% cheaper than o1-preview. OpenAI plans to provide o1-mini access to all ChatGPT free users.
