We trained these models to spend more time thinking through problems before they respond, much like a person would. Through training, they learn to refine their thinking process, try different strategies, and recognize their mistakes.
In our tests, the next model update performs similarly to PhD students on challenging benchmark tasks in physics, chemistry, and biology. We also found that it excels in math and coding. In a qualifying exam for the International Mathematics Olympiad (IMO), GPT-4o correctly solved only 13% of problems, while the reasoning model scored 83%. Their coding abilities were evaluated in contests and reached the 89th percentile in Codeforces competitions. You can read more about this in our technical research post.
As an early model, it doesn't yet have many of the features that make ChatGPT useful, like browsing the web for information and uploading files and images. For many common cases GPT-4o will be more capable in the near term.
But for complex reasoning tasks this is a significant advancement and represents a new level of AI capability. Given this, we are resetting the counter back to 1 and naming this series OpenAI o1.
Here is a simplified version of the provided text:
We trained these AI models to think through problems more carefully before responding, just like a person would. Through training, they learn to improve their thinking process, try different strategies, and recognize their mistakes.
In our tests, the latest model performed similarly to PhD students on challenging tasks in physics, chemistry, and biology. It also excelled in math and coding. On a qualifying exam for the International Mathematics Olympiad, the reasoning model scored 83%, while an earlier model only solved 13% of the problems correctly. The models also performed well in coding competitions, reaching the 89th percentile.
This new model is a significant advancement in AI capabilities, even though it doesn't have all the features that make ChatGPT useful, like browsing the web or working with files and images. For many complex reasoning tasks, this model is more capable than previous versions.
Given this progress, we are resetting the model naming convention and calling this series OpenAI o1.
