OpenAI announce their new best LLM model, o1 is out of preview. – techAU

The head of OpenAI, Sam Altman has announced the release of o1, their model sophisticated Large Language Model to date. Users will interface with the new model through ChatGPT, while developers will get API access soon.

Altman’s post did create a little confusion, given the second part of his post referred to a new pricing tier – ChatGPT Pro for $200 per month. In a clarifying post, he confirms the new o1 model is available for their Plus tier for US$20 per month, it only costs $200pm if you want the model to ‘think harder for the hardest problems’.

Given the price tag is 10x the price, that’s a very vague description to justify the cost, so I doubt they get many takers on that offering.

OpenAI’s X account showed an example of the improvements you’ll get with the o1 model, including faster, more powerful reasoning that’s better at coding, math and writing.

Testing the new o1 model..

To put the new model to the test, I ran a side-by-side comparison of the same prompt and got very different results.

If you’re a ChatGPT subscriber, let us know if you’ve tried the new o1 model and if it returns better results for you. Is this enough to steal you away from Grok, Gemini etc ?
