OpenAI made a major update to its AI models and services at the press conference on December 16. The core of this update is the full version of the large inference model o1 and its advanced mode o1 Pro, as well as a $200 per month ChatGPT Pro subscription service. This update aims to improve the accuracy, speed and functionality of the model to provide users with a more powerful AI experience, especially in dealing with complex problems and professional fields.
OpenAI announced two important updates today at the premiere of its "12 Lives in 12 Days" event: a full version of its large inference model o1 and its advanced mode, as well as the launch of its $200 monthly ChatGPT Pro subscription service .
The full version of the o1 large model will be gradually opened to ChatGPT Plus users. The model answers questions with an internal thinking chain that is closer to the way humans think, improving the accuracy of answering professional questions. Compared with the o1 preview version launched in September, the full version of the o1 model has significantly improved speed, performance and accuracy. It also adds a multi-modal input function, allowing users to upload images to obtain more accurate answers.
OpenAI said that compared with the preview version, the thinking speed of the full version of the o1 model has increased by approximately 50%, and the probability of major errors has been reduced by 34% when answering difficult real-life questions. In evaluations by external expert testers, O1 Pro mode provides more reliable and comprehensive responses in areas such as data science, programming and case law analysis. Compared to O1 and O1 Preview, O1 Pro mode performs better on challenging machine learning benchmarks such as math, science, and coding.
Another update to the o1 model is to support image input. Users can attach hand-drawn schematics when asking questions about the model, such as "heat dissipation issues in space data centers." OpenAI plans to add support for features such as web browsing and file uploads in the coming months.
In addition, OpenAI has launched a ChatGPT Pro subscription service, which costs US$200 per month. Users can have unlimited use of o1 model, o1mini and advanced voice modes, as well as o1pro mode. The o1pro mode will use more computing resources for in-depth thinking to provide the best answers to the most difficult questions, and more computing-intensive functions will be added in the future.
This update marks OpenAI’s continued progress in AI model research and development, and also provides users with more powerful and convenient AI tools. The launch of the full version of o1 and ChatGPT Pro will undoubtedly further promote the application and development of AI technology in various fields. It is worth looking forward to more surprising updates in the future.
