▾OpenAI has introduced a new series of AI models called o1, which promise a revolution in complex thinking and problem-solving. The o1 models excel in fields such as science, programming, and mathematics, achieving results comparable to those of doctoral students. OpenAI has also focused on safety and developed a new training approach to prevent AI misuse.
Artificial intelligence is getting closer to human thinking. The latest endeavor by OpenAI, the series of AI models named o1, is proof of this. The models promise a revolution in complex thinking and problem-solving, particularly in fields like science, programming, and mathematics.
A revolution in machine reasoning
Unlike previous models, o1 is designed to dedicate more time to analysis and deliberation before providing an answer. This enables it to tackle more complex tasks, thereby overcoming the limitations faced by older AI systems.
Tests have shown that o1 achieves results comparable to those of doctoral students in challenging tasks from physics, chemistry, and biology.
It also excels in mathematics and programming – in the qualifying test for the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), the o1 model correctly solved 83% of the problems, whereas GPT-4o only solved 13%. In programming, it ranked in the 89th percentile in Codeforces competitions.
Safety first
OpenAI is aware of the risks associated with increasingly advanced artificial intelligence. As a result, it has developed a new safety training approach that utilizes the o1 model's reasoning capabilities to adhere to safety guidelines.
The o1 models are already available in ChatGPT Plus and Team, and ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu users will soon have access as well. Developers with API access (level 5) can experiment with the o1-preview and o1-mini models today.
The company plans to further enhance the o1 models and expand their functionalities, including web browsing, file and image uploads, and other useful features.
Artificial intelligence is not omnipotent. Where does the human still have the advantage?
Artificial intelligence can write articles, analyze data, and generate videos. However, there are skills and professions that this technology cannot (yet) replace. In the article, we will look at where humans still have the upper hand, why AI needs human supervision, and which abilities will become increasingly valuable to develop in the digital world.
What internet speed is sufficient? Comparison for streaming, gaming, work, and TV
Does your video keep buffering or game lag, even though you pay for 'fast internet'? Perhaps you simply don't have the right one for what you do at home. What internet speed do you need for watching TV, streaming movies, working from home, or online gaming? Find a clear comparison in the article.
Phishing in the Age of AI: How to Recognize a Fraudulent Email When It No Longer Looks Suspicious
Phishing attacks often appear credible and convincing today. Thanks to artificial intelligence, they sound personal, mimic well-known companies, and can be hard to detect. In this article, you'll learn how modern phishing works, why you should watch out for it, and how you can effectively protect yourself from it.
Passkeys: what it is and why you'll soon stop logging in with a password?
Forgotten passwords, recycled combinations, and fear of data leaks. Traditional login methods have their weak points. A new way to verify identity, known as passkeys, aims to change that. Without the need to remember anything and with a focus on security. How do they work, who is already using them today, and why are they becoming the new standard?
Edge computing: What it is and how it changes the future of the internet
Do you know edge computing? It is a method of data processing that shifts computing power closer to the data source. This significantly reduces latency and enables faster real-time decision-making. This technology is becoming key for IoT, autonomous vehicles, or smart cities and is gradually changing the internet as we know it. What does edge computing mean and how will it impact our future?
Digital identity: what will our virtual ID look like in the future?
Digital identity is becoming an integral part of modern society. What does it reveal about us? How does it work today, and what might it look like in the future? From blockchain to virtual IDs – let's look at the technologies changing the way we verify ourselves and protect our privacy in the world.
