OpenAI now reveals more of its o3-mini model’s thought process


OpenAI is changing the way its newest AI model, o3-mini, communicates its step-by-step "thought" process.

On Thursday, OpenAI announced that free and paid users of ChatGPT, the company’s AI-powered chatbot platform, will see an updated “chain of thought” that shows more of the model’s “reasoning” steps and how it arrived at answers to questions. “We’re introducing an updated [chain of thought] for o3-mini designed to make it easier for people to understand how the model thinks,” an OpenAI spokesperson told TechCruch via email. “To improve clarity and safety, we’ve added an additional post-processing step where the model reviews the raw chain of thought, removing any unsafe content, and then simplifies any complex ideas,” the OpenAI spokesperson continued.
