Chat maker GPT OpenAI has finalized a version of its new o3 mini reasoning AI model and would launch it in a few weeks, CEO Sam Altman said Friday.
The Microsoft-backed company has taken user feedback into account and therefore plans to launch the application programming interface (API) and ChatGPT simultaneously, Altman wrote in a post on the social media platform x.
Last December, OpenAI said it was testing reasoning AI models, o3 and o3 mini, indicating growing competition with rivals such as Alphabet’s Google to create smarter models that can solve complex problems.
The AI startup had planned to launch o3 mini by the end of January, and o3 full thereafter, as more robust broad language models could outperform existing models and attract new investments and users .
In September 2024, the GenAI pioneer released o1 AI models designed to spend more time processing queries to solve more difficult problems.
o1 models are capable of reasoning through complex tasks and can solve more difficult problems than previous models in science, coding and mathematics, the company said in a blog post.
-The new o3 and o3 mini models will be more powerful than the previously launched o1 models, the company had said.
Earlier this week, OpenAI said it was introducing a beta feature called Tasks to ChatGPT, signaling its foray into the virtual assistant space, competing with Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa.
The release of ChatGPT in late 2022 sparked an investment frenzy in AI companies, with its growing popularity and new product launches helping OpenAI close a $6.6 billion funding round in October.
