Is AI smarter than humans? OpenAI o1 excels in science, programming, and mathematics

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.

Is AI smarter than humans? OpenAI o1 excels in science, programming, and mathematics

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.
