Researchers created an open rival to OpenAI's o1 'reasoning' model for under $50


AI researchers at Stanford and the University of Washington were able to train an AI "reasoning" model for under $50 in cloud compute credits, according

The researchers behind s1 were looking to find the simplest approach to achieve strong reasoning performance and “test-time scaling,” or allowing an AI model to think more before it answers a question. SFT tends to be cheaper than the large-scale reinforcement learning method that DeepSeek employed to train its competitor to OpenAI’s o1 model, R1. Previously with Gizmodo, Bloomberg, and MSNBC, Zeff has covered the rise of AI and the Silicon Valley Bank crisis.
