OpenAI claims its newest model, OpenAI o1, is so advanced it was “resetting the counter back to one” for naming its AIs.
OpenAI has released several new artificial intelligence models under a revised naming scheme — starting with its latest OpenAI o1 model it says can “think before it answers.”
“For complex reasoning tasks, this is a significant advancement and represents a new level of AI capability,” OpenAI said in a Sept. 12 blog post. “Given this, we are resetting the counter back to one and naming this series OpenAI o1.”
The new models can take their time to think and use “chain-of-thought” reasoning to solve complex tasks — particularly in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) and coding-related tasks, OpenAI said.
