OpenAI launches ‘o3-mini’ with advanced thinking abilities

OpenAI has introduced its latest artificial intelligence (AI) reasoning model, o3-mini, integrating it into ChatGPT and its API services.

The launch of o3-mini comes amid rising competition from DeepSeek, a Chinese AI model gaining industry recognition for its performance.

Initially previewed during OpenAI’s 12 Days of Ship-mas event in December 2024, o3-mini is designed to enhance response speed and accuracy, particularly in mathematics, coding, and science.

Key Features of o3-mini:

24% Faster Responses – OpenAI claims o3-mini is 24% faster than its predecessor o1-mini, while maintaining similar performance.

Access for Paid and Free Users

Paid Users can opt for o3-mini-high, which delivers more intelligent responses but with slightly longer processing times. It is available via the ChatGPT dropdown menu.
Free Users can access o3-mini by selecting the “Reason” button in the chat bar, with similar rate limits as GPT-4.

Additionally, Microsoft has announced that o3-mini will be available through Azure OpenAI Service, GitHub Copilot, and GitHub models.
