Forget GPT-5! OpenAI launches new AI model family o1 claiming PhD-level performance

OpenAI has also launched the o1-mini model, a more streamlined version designed to offer faster and cheaper reasoning capabilities.

OpenAI envisions the models being used for a wide range of applications, from helping physicists generate mathematical formulas for quantum optics to assisting healthcare researchers in annotating cell sequencing data. In benchmark tasks such as the International Mathematics Olympiad (IMO) qualifying exam, o1-preview demonstrated its prowess by solving 83% of the problems, a sharp improvement over the 13% success rate of its predecessor, GPT-4o. The company plans to regularly update and improve these models, including adding features like browsing, file and image uploading, and function calling, which are currently not available in the API version.
