As an early model, OpenAI o1 does not yet have many useful features of ChatGPT, such as browsing the web for information and uploading files and images. GPT-4o will be more powerful in the short term. But for complex reasoning tasks, this is a major improvement and represents a new level of artificial intelligence capabilities. In view of this, the counter is reset to 1 and the series is named OpenAI o1. Healthcare researchers can use o1 to annotate cell sequencing data, physicists can use o1 to generate complex mathematical formulas required for quantum optics, and developers in all fields can use o1 to build and execute multi-step workflows.
OpenAI also released OpenAI o1-mini, a faster and cheaper inference model that is particularly effective at encoding. As a smaller model, o1-mini is 80% cheaper than o1-preview, making it a powerful and cost-effective model for applications that require inference but do not require extensive world knowledge. OpenAI plans to provide o1-mini access to all ChatGPT free users.
