OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, launched a new version of ChatGPT on the 12th, equipped with reasoning abilities.

OpenAI announced the release of the new version of ChatGPT, revealing the new model, 'OpenAI o1' (also known as 'o1'), which is integrated into this new ChatGPT.

OpenAI explained that “the new chatbot is based on ‘o1’, which can ‘reason’ through tasks related to mathematics, coding, and coding-related work.”

Jakub Pachocki, OpenAI’s Chief Scientist, said, “Previous models like ChatGPT would start responding immediately after receiving a question, but this model may take some time. It thinks, analyzes in English, and finds the right angles to present the best solution.”

While it may take longer to provide an answer than previous models, it solves complex problems through a step-by-step thought process. The New York Times (NYT) reported, “AI chatbots like ChatGPT or Google’s Gemini sometimes struggle with simple math problems, are prone to bugs, and can often generate incorrect or fabricated answers. This new model could mitigate such issues.”

OpenAI stated that this model achieved an 83% accuracy rate in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) preliminary exam, compared to the 13% accuracy rate of previous models.

Additionally, this model could assist physicists in formulating complex mathematical equations and support medical researchers in their experiments.

This new model is part of OpenAI’s effort to develop Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), AI at a human level.

Along with the basic 'o1' model, OpenAI also unveiled a smaller version, ‘o1-mini’. The ‘o1’ model provides text-based answers and does not generate images or videos. ChatGPT Plus and Chat Teams subscribers, as well as businesses, will be able to access this new technology starting today.
