🍓OpenAI Unveils Advanced Reasoning Models: o1-preview and o1-mini Now Available

What is GPT-o1?

OpenAI has introduced a groundbreaking new series of advanced reasoning models, known as o1 (also rumored under the codename 'Project Strawberry'). These models are engineered to tackle complex problems with unprecedented depth. By spending more time analyzing and reasoning before delivering responses, o1 models excel in solving difficult tasks in fields like science, coding, and math, outperforming previous iterations.

The first models in this series, o1-preview and o1-mini, are now live on ChatGPT Plus and users are limited to 30 and 50 messages, respectively. This marks the beginning of a series of releases that will see regular updates and improvements to the models. In addition, OpenAI has provided evaluations for upcoming updates, giving users a glimpse of what's next in the development pipeline.

Why is o1 called 'Project Strawberry'?

The codename "Project Strawberry" for OpenAI's o1 model has not been officially explained by OpenAI. However, it may stem from a demonstration used to illustrate the model's advanced reasoning capabilities. In this example, counting the letter "Rs" in the word "strawberry" was used to highlight the difference between the older model (referred to as GPT-4o) and the new o1 models. The demonstration showcased how o1 models can reason through problems with greater accuracy and depth compared to their predecessors. While the example was for demonstration purposes, it effectively underscored o1's improved problem-solving abilities, thus inspiring the "strawberry" codename.

How does it work?

o1 is trained to spend more time thinking through problems, much like humans do. They refine their strategies, recognize mistakes, and improve their reasoning abilities. In testing, the upcoming o1 update performed at a level comparable to PhD students on challenging tasks in physics, chemistry, and biology. The model excelled in math and coding, solving 83% of problems in an International Mathematics Olympiad qualifying exam, compared to 13% by GPT-4o, and reaching the 89th percentile in Codeforces coding contests.

Though the o1 models currently lack some of ChatGPT's features, like web browsing and file uploads, they represent a significant leap in handling complex reasoning tasks. This new capability prompted OpenAI to reset the model's numbering to 1, starting the o1 series.
