o1: OpenAI’s Newest Model

OpenAI has recently announced the arrival of its newest model named o1. This AI model was previously known under the code-name, ‘Strawberry’. OpenAI has now unveiled Strawberyy’s official name. 

The new AI models by OpenAI have been designed to take their time to think for an answer before they respond. This allows the AI models to solve more complex and harder tasks and problems as compared to the other AI models released by the company. To gain access to these models, users will require a ChatGPT Plus or Team subscription. Education in Enterprise users has also been said to gain access to these models soon. Free ChatGPT users will have to wait a bit longer to get their chance at using o1-mini. 

o1 is made of two models namely the o1-preview and o1-mini. The reason this model takes more time to think of answers is because it essentially ‘fact-checks’ itself. It takes into account all parts of the question before providing an answer. It carries out proper planning and performs a bunch of actions that assist the model in moulding an answer. So the longer this AI takes to answer a question, the better the output. This makes it different from all other models that came before it. 

o1: More on this new OpenAI model

This generative AI model has been said to excel in problems relating to coding and since as well as in analysing data. However, there are a couple of disadvantages that come with this new AI model. An obvious drawback would be the amount of time it takes to answer a question or query. Although it may provide better answers in terms of quality, it is much slower than the other models because it takes time to ‘think’ about the answer. 

Furthermore, o1 is quite expensive as the o1-preview costs $15 per one million input tokens as well as $60 per one million output tokens. This generative AI model is also limited in some aspects. For instance, browsing the web is not possible for this AI model and neither is analysing files.
