OpenAI o1 is a reasoning-focused AI model that spends time "thinking" before responding, using chain-of-thought reasoning to solve complex problems in science, coding, and mathematics. Released in September 2024, it represents a new paradigm that improves outputs through increased test-time compute.
Unlike traditional language models that respond immediately, o1 employs a unique approach:
The model produces reasoning chains that can involve thousands of tokens, breaking complex problems into simpler steps. However, these internal reasoning traces are hidden from users for safety and competitive reasons.
O1 represents a fundamental shift in AI capabilities, achieving human-expert level performance on many reasoning tasks:
