We’ve developed a new series of AI models designed to spend more time thinking before they respond. They can reason through complex tasks and solve harder problems than previous models in science, coding, and math.

Today, we are releasing the first of this series in ChatGPT and our API. This is a preview and we expect regular updates and improvements. Alongside this release, we’re also includingevaluations for the next update, currently in development.

It’s finally here! :strawberry:

We have two new models to play with, o1-preview and a smaller, faster, and cheaper o1-mini.

So excited to start playing with this model, just upgraded to tier 5 so I can use it via the API!

The OpenAi page says that the API is available to “trusted partners”

… Microsoft Azure OpenAi Studio doesn’t (yet) list this model

Ergo Microsoft Azure ain’t a trusted partner? :thinking: :thinking: :thinking: :thinking:

Quite excited to test this model!

What are some interesting use cases that you will be looking into?

I have access on one of my 3 ChatGPT accounts, and tested it on AI Explained’s Simple-Bench try yourself questions with extremely promising results.

Wow, this is so exciting! A new kind of model for reasoning

It’s “really slow”… And I think I broke it.

I asked it “tell me about the debates” just to see if it knows about recent events and it’s been thinking for several minutes.

I ended up aborting. let’s try something else…

It doesn’t, in the blog posts they said it has no access to the web or any other tools yet. Also training data is only up to October 2023.

it was likely trying to give me a comprehensive history of all debates :slight_smile:

I’m asking it to write a paper on the “risks versus rewards of AGI”. One of my go to tasks…

It wrote basically the same paper as gpt-4o but said a few more words and gave it a little better structure. It did add a short section on mitigation strategies which gpt-4o missed so it did technically write a better paper.

For some comparisons on this specific tasks. The paper gpt-4o wrote is around 1,100 tokens and the paper o1 wrote on the same topic is around 2,500 tokens. My dedicated paper writing system generates a paper around 4,400 tokens in length for the same topic. That system takes a lot longer then o1 but it has web access so it grounds the paper in about a dozen different web searches…

I’ll try some other tasks…

I tested the o1-preview model to solve the first question of IMO 2024. It thought for 70 seconds and gave the wrong answer, as expected. What I didn’t expect was that the wrong answer was the same as GPT4o, with no improvement in scope or comprehensiveness.

Let’s run more tests…

Exciting launch! Is there a reason why I can’t see it in the playground? The browser constantly redirects to a previously selected model. Thanks!

why did they change the request format???

did you really need to introduce a breaking change just to add the word “completion” ? :frowning:

An absolutely pointless breaking change :frowning:

Not only is it pointless… It will be nearly impossible to know if you should use max_tokens or max_completion_tokens when calling Azure Open AI…

That’s literally the one change they made to the API… WTF???

All the more reason to just use the OpenAI API directly I guess, I’d imagine it has something to do with the way the new model uses tokens.

No they marked it as deprecated for all models… Every single OpenAI consumer now needs to change the word max_tokens to max_completion_tokens. That’s just dumb…
