The host conducted an in-depth test of OpenAI's newly released ChatGPT o1 model, comparing it to previous language models and putting it through a series of challenging tasks. The results demonstrate significant advancements in AI capabilities, with the o1 model outperforming its predecessors in various areas.

The host began by noting that OpenAI had used a question from his previous AI rubric on their official website, suggesting that the company may be paying attention to his work. He then proceeded to test the o1 model, which is available in two versions: ChatGPT o1-preview and o1-mini.

This is how we know we are rapidly moving to AGI.

The fact that our metrics do not work show we are entering something completely different.

yes, things are just moving faster and faster. I couldn't help myself and bought openai premium for a month just to try it out for myself.

Not surprisingly, it's very impressive

What is going to get very interesting is when Claude, Grok, and Llama have their next versions out.

Do you think OpenAI is going to be the only one forging ahead at such a pace?

I have a feeling neither Anthropic or Elon (or Zuckerberg for that matter) is about to let OpenAI win this race. I mean it wasn't long ago that Anthropic's latest model was stronger than GPT

Agreed.

No way they are sitting back. Elon is throwing a lot of compute at things to catch up. Meta is also getting a huge amount of GPUs also.

Key Findings:

  1. Code Generation: The o1 model successfully created a fully functional Tetris game in Python on its first attempt, with only 35 seconds of "thinking" time. This was a significant improvement over previous tests, where the model required multiple attempts.

  2. Problem-Solving: The model correctly solved a complex problem involving envelope size restrictions for mailing, demonstrating its ability to consider multiple dimensions and rotations.

  1. Self-Awareness: When asked to count the words in its own response, the model provided the correct answer, showing an understanding of its output.

  2. Nuanced Reasoning: In a question about killers in a room, the o1 model provided a detailed analysis, considering various scenarios and demonstrating a level of nuance not seen in previous models.

  3. Physics Understanding: The model correctly answered a question about a marble in a glass, accounting for the effects of gravity and careful handling.

  4. Mathematical Prowess: o1 successfully solved a complex mathematical formula, providing a step-by-step breakdown of its thought process.

  1. Ethical Reasoning: When presented with a moral dilemma, the model offered a nuanced perspective before providing a direct answer when prompted.

The researcher noted that the o1 model's ability to show its "thinking" process through intermediate steps was particularly impressive. This feature allows users to see how the AI breaks down complex problems and arrives at its conclusions.

However, the model did struggle with one question involving spatial reasoning at the Earth's North Pole, which the researcher acknowledged is a notoriously difficult problem for AI models.

Overall, the researcher concluded that the o1 model is "by far the best model" he has ever tested, surpassing other AI models in both accuracy and nuance. He emphasized that while other models have performed well on similar tests, o1 is the first to consistently capture subtle details and provide more comprehensive analyses.

This test highlights the rapid advancements in AI technology, with models like o1 demonstrating increasingly sophisticated problem-solving abilities across a wide range of domains. As these models continue to evolve, they may have significant implications for various fields, from software development to ethical decision-making.
