Decoding OpenAI’s o1 family of large language models

OpenAI said its project Strawberry has graduated to a new family of large language models (LLMs) that the company has christened OpenAI o1.

The new family of models, which also includes an o1-mini version for cost efficiency, according to the company, can be differentiated from the latest GPT-4o models basis their reasoning abilities.

“We’ve developed a new series of AI models designed to spend more time thinking before they respond. They can reason through complex tasks and solve harder problems than previous models in science, coding, and math,” the company wrote in a blog post, adding that the models were currently in preview.
