chatgpt o1 preview and o1 mini

And just like that... we have a new model in ChatGPT and two ways to access it: o1-preview and o1-mini. You can still choose 4o if you want!

ChatGPT o1 is a new AI model released by OpenAI that represents a significant advancement in artificial intelligence capabilities, particularly in reasoning and problem-solving.

Reasoning Abilities
ChatGPT o1 is designed to handle more complex tasks through a "chain of thought" approach, similar to human reasoning. It can:
Break down problems step-by-step.
Explore different strategies to solve problems.
Identify and correct mistakes as it works through tasks.

Improved Performance
Compared to previous models like GPT-4o, ChatGPT o1 shows enhanced capabilities in:
Mathematics and coding tasks.
Complex, multi-step challenges.
Accuracy and reduced "hallucinations" (generating false information).

Training and Technology
ChatGPT o1 uses a new AI framework called OpenAI o1.
It was trained using reinforcement learning, a different approach from previous GPT models.
The model can take more time to analyze and deconstruct problems before responding.

Availability and Pricing
Available to ChatGPT Plus and Team users, with Enterprise and Edu access coming soon.
More expensive to use than GPT-4o, with higher token costs for developers (so I think there are limits to how many times we/users can use it).
A smaller, more cost-effective version called o1-mini is also available.

Limitations
Despite its advancements, ChatGPT o1 has some limitations:
Struggles with factual knowledge about the world.
Lacks capabilities like web browsing or processing files and images.
