OpenAI has announced plans to launch a new AI model with advanced human-like reasoning capabilities, signaling a major leap in AI innovation.
This move is set to heighten competition with rivals like Google as both companies push the boundaries of artificial intelligence, with potential applications across industries such as healthcare, education, according to Bloomberg.
OpenAI will unveil its new o3 model in a livestream event on Friday. The model is designed to solve complex, multi-step problems by spending more time processing before providing answers. A smaller version, o3-mini, will also be introduced.
The event will highlight how o3 surpasses its predecessor, o1, which was released in September, particularly in answering intricate questions related to coding.
OpenAI will invite safety and security researchers to apply for testing the models before launching new software.
The company plans to release the o3 models early next year, according to a spokesperson.
The San Francisco-based startup began the AI arms race two years ago with the release of ChatGPT, powered by the GPT-3.5 language model.
It followed up in 2023 with GPT-4, offering greater accuracy and creativity, and more recently launched o1, its first reasoning model.
The spokesperson stated that OpenAI chose not to name the new model o2 “out of respect” for the British telecommunications brand of the same name. This decision follows earlier reports from.
