San Francisco, December 17, 2024 – OpenAI announced the availability of its advanced reasoning model, o1, for developers through its API. This development allows the creation of sophisticated applications capable of managing complex tasks in several stages with greater precision.
According to OpenAI, o1 is the successor of o1-preview, which developers have used to build agent applications that accelerate customer support, optimize supply chain decisions and provide complex financial trends. The ready to produce model o1 introduces key features designed for real use cases, including function calls, structured outputs, developer messages, vision capabilities and lower latency.
Call function allows the perfect integration of o1 with external data and API, facilitating more dynamic and sensitive applications. Structured products generate reliable responses to customized JSON systems, ensuring consistency and ease of data management. The developer’s messages specify instructions or context for the model to follow, such as setting tone, style and other behavioral orientations, improving the customization of AI interactions.
Vision capabilities allow o1 to reason on images, unlock a multitude of applications in science, manufacturing and coding, where visual inputs are crucial. In addition, o1 has less latency, using an average of 60% less than o1-anticipated reasoning chips for a given application, resulting in more efficient performance.
OpenAI also introduced a new API parameter ‘reason _ effort’, allowing developers to control the duration of the model before providing a response. This feature offers flexibility to balance response time and accuracy according to specific application requirements.
The current version, o1-2024-12-17, is a post-formation iteration of the model published in ChatGPT two weeks earlier. It integrates improvements into the user feedback model behavior while maintaining advanced capabilities evaluated in OpenAI o1 System Card. OpenAI states that the 1-2024-12-17 sets new state-of-the-art results at several benchmarks, improving both cost-effectiveness and performance.
Developers interested in taking advantage of o1 can access it via the OpenAI API, with detailed documentation available to facilitate integration. OpenAI encourages rapid adoption to explore the capabilities of the model and contribute to its development through user feedback.
This version marks an important step in the development of IV, providing developers with a powerful tool to create applications that require advanced reasoning and decision-making capabilities. As the CEW continues to evolve, models such as O1 are ready to play a key role in addressing complex challenges in various industries.
