About o1 Preview

OpenAI's o1-preview (2024-09-12) is an advanced experimental AI model specifically designed for complex reasoning and problem-solving tasks, excelling in STEM fields such as mathematics, science, and programming. It represents a significant advancement over previous models by incorporating a specialized "chain-of-thought" training approach, allowing it to spend more time deliberating before responding, thus achieving PhD-level accuracy in benchmarks across physics, chemistry, and biology. With a substantial context window of 128,000 tokens and an output limit of 32,768 tokens, it demonstrates impressive capabilities—achieving 83% accuracy on Mathematics Olympiad problems compared to GPT-4o's 13%, and reaching the 89th percentile in Codeforces coding competitions. However, due to its experimental nature, it is not yet suitable for production use-cases and is heavily rate-limited during this preview stage.
