According to Odaily, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman hinted at the release of a new AI model, GPT-o3, through a tweet on the X platform. Altman's message included phrases like "hohoho, see you tomorrow" and "find a clue, should say oh oh oh," suggesting the potential launch of the o3 model. The repeated use of "o" and "h" in his tweet is seen as an indication of the upcoming release.
OpenAI is currently developing this next-generation inference model, which aims to provide deeper insights into user queries. The company may have chosen to skip the "o2" naming to avoid trademark conflicts with the UK telecom operator O2, opting instead for "o3."
The announcement coincides with the final day of OpenAI's "12 Days of OpenAI" event. Over the past 11 days, OpenAI has released a fully-featured o1 model and introduced related APIs. Additionally, the company has upgraded various features, including function calling, structured output, inference effort control, developer messaging, and visual input capabilities.
