OpenAI has officially released its OpenAI o1 large language model (LLM), built for complex reasoning. The company also introduced ChatGPT Pro, a $200 monthly plan that includes unlimited access to OpenAI o1, o1-mini, GPT-4o, and advanced voice conversations.
Available in a preview version, called o1-preview, in ChatGPT beginning September 12, OpenAI o1 proved to be better at code generation than previous OpenAI models.
The general release of OpenAI o1 was announced December 5. Compared to o1-preview, users can expect a faster, more powerful, and more accurate reasoning model that is better at coding and math, OpenAI said. A key improvement is that o1 now can be used to reason about image uploads, opening up new applications by explaining and analyzing visual representations with more accuracy and detail. The official o1 release is also more concise in its thinking, OpenAI said, resulting in faster response times than the o1 preview.
