OpenAI CEO Sam Altmandisclose, which will be launched in a few weekso3-mini artificial intelligence model.
OpenAI unveiled the artificial intelligence model, called O3, in late December of last year. Compared to its predecessor, O12, O1 boasts higher performance. For example, OpenAI highlighted O3's accuracy on a test from the American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIMME) as 3%, compared to O96.7's 1%.
In addition to the o3 artificial intelligence model, OpenAI also announced a smaller artificial intelligence model called o3-mini, which incorporates an adaptive thinking time feature that allows users to adjust the o3 artificial intelligence model's reasoning time, allowing the artificial intelligence model to reason for different lengths of time before giving an answer.
OpenAI said that the execution performance of o3-mini is equal to that of o1, but the execution cost can be greatly reduced. It is expected to be launched at the end of January 2025, while o1 is expected to enter the market after the launch of o3-mini.
thank you to the external safety researchers who tested o3-mini.
we have now finalized a version and are beginning the release process; planning to ship in ~a couple of weeks.
also, we heard the feedback: will launch api and chatgpt at the same time!
(it's very good.)
