OpenAI’s o3 model might be costlier to run than originally estimated


OpenAI's o3 model might be costlier to run than originally estimated, according to a third-party benchmarking org.

The organization originally estimated that the best-performing configuration of o3 it tested, o3 high, cost around $3,000 to solve a single ARC-AGI problem. The revision is notable because it illustrates just how expensive today’s most sophisticated AI models may end up being for certain tasks, at least early on. “We believe o1-pro is a closer comparison of true o3 cost […] due to amount of test-time compute used,” Mike Knoop, one of the co-founders of The Arc Prize Foundation, told TechCrunch.
