OpenAI launches GPT-4o mini, which will replace GPT-3.5 in ChatGPT

On Thursday, OpenAI announced the launch of GPT-4o mini, a smaller version of its GPT-4o AI language model. It will replace GPT-3.5 Turbo in ChatGPT and will have multimodal capabilities, interpreting images and text. GPT-4o mini will be OpenAI's first model to use "instruction hierarchy" to prioritize certain instructions. Smaller language models like GPT-4o mini are aimed at performing simpler tasks at a lower cost. OpenAI offers it for free in ChatGPT, saving money for the company. Smaller models have fewer parameters, requiring fewer calculations and leading to cost savings.

OpenAI releases o1, its first model with ‘reasoning’ abilities

OpenAI has unveiled o1, its latest AI model touted as the first in a series of "reasoning" models. This highly anticipated release, previously rumored as "Strawberry," is designed to handle complex queries more efficiently than its predecessors. O1 employs reinforcement learning and a "chain of thought" process, mimicking human problem-solving steps. The model excels in coding and mathematics, even outperforming GPT-4o on challenging tasks like the International Mathematics Olympiad qualifying exam. However, o1 is slower and significantly more expensive to use than GPT-4o, with API costs up to three times higher. OpenAI is releasing o1 alongside a smaller version, o1-mini. Access is initially limited to ChatGPT Plus and Team users, with plans to expand availability. While o1 shows improved accuracy and reduced hallucinations, it lacks some capabilities of GPT-4o, such as web browsing and image processing. This release marks a step towards OpenAI's goal of developing more human-like artificial intelligence, potentially leading to autonomous systems capable of complex decision-making.
