The OpenAI o3-mini feature is now available to all users. OpenAI has launched the O3-mini reasoning model on ChatGPT and its API services. In the initial phase, free users of ChatGPT will be able to use it only a limited number of times a day. The feature was announced in December as part of OpenAI’s 12-day ‘ship-mass’ campaign. The model is said to be designed to match the performance of the O1 model in math, coding, and science.
The o3-mini model is part of OpenAI’s latest advancements in its generative AI technology. Although smaller in scale compared to the flagship GPT-4-turbo model, o3-mini promises faster response times, reduced computational requirements, and the ability to handle simpler queries with ease.
This move aims to improve the user experience for free-tier users while allocating premium resources, like GPT-4-turbo, for paid subscribers who rely on the platform for professional and intensive use cases.
