> OpenAI is releasing a new model called o1, the first in a planned series of “reasoning” models that have been trained to answer more complex questions, faster than a human can. It’s being released alongside o1-mini, a smaller, cheaper version. And yes, if you’re steeped in AI rumors: this is, in fact, the extremely hyped Strawberry model.
My view of AI always bounces from “Overhyped Garbage” to “we are so cooked”. IMO if AI will change the future as some people think it will stuff will get a lot worse before it gets better.
I don’t know enough about the programming (or neurology) to know if these LLMs are carrying out anything like the process that we do when we formulate speech, but the technology certainly feels like a really consequential breakthrough. I keep thinking back to Daniel Dennett’s hypothesis that consciousness is an illusion created by overlapping neural processes and wondering whether we’re seeing one of those processes coming into being in isolation from the others.
I admit that this is exciting news. I admit I was rather disappointed with 4o. What 4o seems to have been is a faster, more optimized model, which might be good for corporate users, but is largely irrelevant to end users of the website. Still I prefer to be optimistic, although
>ChatGPT Plus and Team users get access to both o1-preview and o1-mini starting today, while Enterprise and Edu users will get access early next week.
I’d wager that it will be made available for plus users in Bulgaria at some point in December.
