OpenAI released 'o1', a groundbreaking AI model focused on complex reasoning tasks, setting a new bar for advanced language models. The o1 family includes o1-mini for coding and the more capable o1-preview. Unlike previous models trained to memorize information, o1 employs reinforcement learning to break down problems, consider multiple approaches, and self-correct mistakes. Outperforming human experts on the GPQA benchmark, o1 represents a paradigm shift towards inference-time scaling where reasoning is decoupled from knowledge accumulation. While o1 excels at complex problems, it is not meant to replace GPT-4o for all use cases, especially those requiring images, function calling, or fast response times.
