OpenAI has released what it calls its “most cost-efficient” reasoning artificial intelligence (AI) model, the o3-mini. The model is part of OpenAI’s o1 series, which can reason through tasks but takes longer to respond than non-reasoning models. Compared to OpenAI’s GPT (LLM) series, reasoning models can tackle tougher tasks and solve harder problems in STEM disciplines.
Unlike OpenAI’s other models in the reasoning series, o3-mini is a “small” but “powerful and fast” model, the company said. The model outperforms earlier models especially in science, coding and math, and comes in three reasoning levels: low, medium and high for tougher tasks.
The model is available to all ChatGPT users. For enterprises, the model is available on Microsoft Azure’s platform.
