OpenAI Unveils New Advanced Reasoning AI Models with Extra Features

ISLAMABAD: OpenAI unveiled its latest AI reasoning models, o3 and o4-mini, on Wednesday. These models are designed to pause, process, and carefully analyze questions before responding, enhancing their ability to reason through complex tasks.

O3: The Most Advanced Reasoning Model Yet

The o3 model is OpenAI’s most sophisticated reasoning AI to date, surpassing the performance of its previous models in areas such as math, coding, reasoning, science, and visual understanding. According to OpenAI, o3 achieves state-of-the-art performance in tests measuring coding abilities, including a notable 69.1% score on the SWE-bench verified test.

O4-Mini: The Competitive Trade-Off

In contrast, o4-mini offers a more balanced trade-off between price, speed, and performance, making it a versatile option for developers who need a model that is both efficient and effective. This model achieves a performance score of 68.1% on the same SWE-bench test, nearly matching o3’s results.

Developers can choose between the two models depending on their specific needs, with o4-mini presenting a more budget-friendly option while still maintaining high-quality results.
