OpenAI launches new o1 language model with ‘reasoning’ abilities, Sam Altman says it is ‘still flawed’

OpenAI has released a new series of models codenamed o1 with ‘reasoning’ capabilities that are designed to spend more time before responding to users’ queries. The new model is immediately available for use and is said to have the ability to perform more complex tasks that were thought possible by previous models.

While o1 is said to be better at performing some tasks like coding and solving multistep problems but it is also slower and costlier than current models like GPT-4o.
