A week ago, OpenAI released a new series of reasoning models in ChatGPT.
Those new models (called o1-preview and o1-mini) spend more time thinking about problems before solving them, and the results are impressive.
Here’s an analysis by LMSYS Org that shows how both o1-preview and o1-mini rank among other models (with o1-preview ranking #1 overall)
You can start using both o1-preview and o1-mini today if you subscribe to ChatGPT Plus (read more about the release of those models from OpenAI by clicking here).
Ethan Mollick also wrote a great article that talks about how those new OpenAI models differ from all the others because they follow a new scaling law (one that’s about “thinking” vs. “training”). Click here to read his article.
