This morning I noticed ChatGPT had quietly rolled out the new o1-preview and o1-mini models. I hadn’t expected much, but the update showed up on my account anyway. Usage is heavily capped right now — 50 uses a month for o1-preview and 30 for o1-mini — so I’m holding off and waiting for an important, sufficiently complex task before actually putting it through its paces. This version brings a noticeably big jump in reasoning ability.
