ALBAWBA - OpenAI introduced a new version of ChatGPT on Thursday dubbed “o1” that is first in a planned series of "reasoning" models that have been taught to answer more complicated questions and do tasks involving mathematics, coding, and science at a quicker rate than a human is capable of.
The o1 model is what has been hyped as codenamed “Strawberry,” and is being introduced concurrently with o1-mini, which is a more compact and less expensive version. Existing artificial intelligence models, such as OpenAI's most powerful model on the market, GPT-4o, are unable to tackle the difficulties that the new model can handle.
Before arriving at the correct response, it goes through a process of reasoning through the issue, basically thinking out loud like a human would, as opposed to the method that is often used by big language models, which is to generate a solution in a single step.

o1 is still flawed, still limited, and it still seems more impressive on first use than it does after you spend more time with it. pic.twitter.com/Qs1HoSDOz1— Sam Altman (@sama) September 12, 2024
The new technology is a component of a larger effort to develop artificial intelligence that is capable of reasoning through difficult problems. According to The New York Times, the objective is to develop systems that are able to solve a problem in a methodical and logical manner by using a sequence of discrete stages, each of which builds on the previous one, in a manner that is comparable to the way in which people think.
Beginning today, customers of ChatGPT Plus and Team will have access to both o1-preview and o1-mini. customers of Enterprise and Edu will have access to both of these features at the beginning of the next week. OpenAI says that it intends to make o1-mini accessible to all of the free users of ChatGPT; however, a release date has not yet been announced.
OpenAI’s chief research officer, Bob McGrew, comments to The Verge about o1 saying “I think you’ll see there are lots of ways where it feels kind of alien, but there are also ways where it feels surprisingly human.”
