OpenAI’s New AI Model: A PhD Student That Takes 30 Seconds to Answer
OpenAI has unveiled its latest AI model, “OpenAI o1-preview,” designed to spend more time thinking before responding. Dubbed a breakthrough, it reportedly performs like PhD students on complex tasks. However, it’s still in an early state, lacking features like web browsing. OpenAI o1 will be available to ChatGPT Plus and Team users.

Hot Take:
Looks like OpenAI’s newest brainchild, o1-preview, is here to save us all from tedious math problems—just don’t ask it to browse the web or upload a cat pic anytime soon.
Key Points:
- OpenAI o1-preview, previously code-named “Strawberry,” is designed to tackle complex tasks with advanced reasoning.
- It performs similarly to PhD students in challenging academic tasks but is still in a preview stage with more updates to come.
- Currently available to ChatGPT Plus and Team users, with a lightweight version (o1-mini) planned for free users.
- Scored 84/100 in safety tests, significantly outperforming its predecessor.
- Despite improvements, the model still has limitations and occasional “hallucinations” of facts.
