Creating o1-pro model based chatbot in OpenAI via the API?

I have seen many threads/posts complaining the cancellation of o1-pro model in Chatgpt and I agree that o3 pro is no way near what o1-pro can do. I use o1-pro for academic research purpose. It is very good finding ways to improve my writing and reasoning and addressing the reviewers’ comments.

I am wondering since o1-pro model is available to every paid API account, tiers 1–5; has anyone created/coded a chatbot using o1-pro model via the API so you can still use o1-pro model? If anyone has done that, can you share your experience. If it works, I am planning to cancel my ChatGPT pro account and buy tokens in OpenAI so that I can still use o1-pro model.

  • Yes, available on the API
  • Can only be employed with the “Responses” API endpoint
  • As simple as switching between models if you write versatile “reasoning” code for “Responses”
  • Would need a name other than chatbot due to low throughput - “email a busy bot”?

You purchase “credits” - dollar figures that can pay for API services. Like a $2-5 question with this extremely-expensive model, which is 10x more than regular “o1” still available, and which is 60x-200x more than gpt-4o once you consider the internal reasoning generation also billed. The pricing is likely set up solely to not provide “ChatGPT Pro” at less than its 10x cost.
